PREFACE. 


With  the  exception  of  only  two  or  three,  the  interest- 
ing histories  of  the  churches  which  are  here  presented 
have  been  prepared  by  their  respective  pastors  expressly 
for  this  book.  As  to  the  arrangement  of  the  subject  mat- 
ter, we  have  placed  the  denominations  in  alphabetical 
order.  We  sincerely  regret  the  inability  to  secure  the 
two  or  three  photographs  that  are  omitted,  but  it  is  no 
fault  of  the  publishers. 

We  trust  that  any  slight  errors  may  be  generously 
overlooked,  since  they  are  not  due  to  any  lack  of  pains- 
taking care.

INTRODUCTION. 


This  book  is  something  entirely  new  for  Lexington. 
Although  many  churches  publish  occasionally,  each  for 
itself,  a  manual  or  directory,  giving  some  of  these  facts 
for  the  use  of  their  own  members,  yet  the  combining 
of  all  these  together  so  that  the  members  of  all  the  Protest- 
ant bodies  may  readily  learn  about  one  another  is  an 
entirely  new  plan  and  will  prove  to  be  a  great  success. 
Aside  from  the  great  convenience  of  such  a  volume  there 
are  higher  ends  to  be  secured.  We  are  members,  in  all 
these  churches,  of  one  another;  our  aims  are  common; 
our  methods  vary  and  we  can  learn  much  from  each 
other.  There  is  also  great  practical  value  to  a  city,  grow- 
ing as  this  does,  in  holding  up  the  beginning  of  things 
and  the  course  of  history  in  the  churches.  The  stranger 
can  inform  himself  in  a  few  moments  as  to  the  story  of 
the  church  into  which  he  has  come  from  another  com- 
munity. 


riRST  BAPTIST  CHUPCH. 


Historical   Sketch. 

By  Rev.  W.  M   Pratt,  D.  D. 

The  present  First  Baptist  Church  of  Lexington  was 
constituted  in  1817.  George  W.  Ranck,  in  his  History 
of  Lexington,  page  119,  gives  the  following  account: 
"In  that  year  (1817),  on  the  4th  of  January,  a  number  of 
its  (Town  Fork)  scattered  members  assembled  and  re- 
organized the  church,  with  the  assistance  of  Elders  Toler, 
Jacob  Creath,  sen.,  and  Jeremiah  \ardeman;  Berry 
Stout  being  moderator  and  Samuel  Ayers,  clerk."  On 
the  church  list  of  members  about  that  time,  we  find, 
among  others,  the  names  of  James  Trotter,  R.  Higgins, 
William  C.  Wartield,  Walter  Warfield,  W.  H.  Richardson, 
W  illiam  Stone,  Matthew  Elder,  William  Payne,  Edward 
Payne,  J.  H.  Morton,  J.  C.  Richardson,  Gabriel  Tandy, 
Thomas  Lewis,  and  William  Poindexter.  The  congre- 
gation met  at  this  time  in  the  chapel  of  Transylvania 
University,  but  immediate  steps  were  taken  to  build  a 
new  house  of  worship.  It  was  completed  and  occupied 
in  October,  1819,  and  located  on  North  Mill  street,  op- 
posite the  College  Lawn.  It  was  a  substantial  two-story, 
provided  with  galleries. 

Immediately  after  re-organization  of  the  church,  Dr. 
James  Fishback,  who  had  just  been  ordained  to  the  Bap- 
tist ministry,  was  called  to  the  pastorate  at  a  salary  of 
$400  per  year,  a  sum  considered  at  that  time  quite  extra- 
ordinary for  a  preacher's  services.  His  pastorate  ex- 
tended from  1817  to  1826.  A  quaint  feature  of  the  day 
was  the  custom,  kept  up  for  a  long  time,  of  the  Mill 
Street  Church,  of  giving  out  hymns  line  after  line.  Mr. 
Ranck  furthermore  states  respecting  this  first  pastor  of 
the  church:  "In  1826  the  influence  of  the  religious 
movement,  headed  by  Barton  ^Stone  and  Alexander 
Campbell,  caused  the  introduction  of  a  resolution  into  the 
First  Baptist  Church  to  change  its  name  to  'the  Church 
of  Christ,'  which  was  advocated  and  opposed  by  the  two 
parties  which  had  then  formed  in  the  church.       After  a

long  tliscnssion.  the  party  favoring  the  resolution 
'swarmed  out'  under  the  leadership  of  Dr.  Fishback, 
and  organized  the  "Church  of  Christ,'  and  worshiped 
in  a  building  now  known  as  the' station,  an  ofBce  on  Short 
street  between  Upper  and  Limestone.  This  church  was 
eventually  dissolved,  many  of  the  congregation  going 
back  to  the  First  Baptist  Church,  and  the  remainder  con-

nected  themselves  with  the  body  now  called  the  'Chris- 
tian Church.* " 

The  following  is  a  list  of  succeeding  pastors  of  the 
First  Baptist  Church  to  the  present  time: 

Second  Pastor — Elder  Jeremiah  Vardeman,  from 
1827  to  1830,  assisted  by  J.  Creath,  Jr.,  in  1828  and  1829. 
He  was  a  very  eloquent  and  effective  preacher  and  had 
greater  success  in  revivals  than  any  other  minister  of  his 
day.  • 

In  1834  and  1835  Elder  W.  C.  Buck  preached  for  the 
church  once  a  month. 

In  1 83 1  J.  B.  Smith  is  mentioned  as  preaching  for  the 
church  one  vear. 


FIRST   BAPTIST   CHURCH.  7 

In  1832  to  1835  Elder  R.  T.  Dillard  was  in  charge  of 
the  church. 

In  1835  to  1839  Elder  Silas  AI.  Noel  was  pastor.  He 
died  j\Iay  5.  1839.  He  was  succeeded  by  Dr.  B.  P.  Drake, 
a  member  of  the  church,  a  physician,  and  set  apart  to  the 
ministry  of  the  church. 

In  1840  Rev.  William  F.  Broaddus,  of  Virginia,  was 
called  to  the  pastorate  at  a  salary  of  $1,500  per  year,  with 
the  privilege  of  conducting  a  young  ladies'  school.  He 
continued  in  the  pastorate  until  1845,  when  he  resigned. 
He  was  a  very  able  minister  in  the  pulpit  and  an  excellent 
teacher. 

In  1845  Rev.  W.  ]\I.  Pratt,  D.  D.,  was  unanimously 
invited  to  take  charge  of  the  church  for  one  year,  at  a 
salary  of  $700. 

So,  according  to  contract,  he  returned,  after  a  tour 
through  Virginia,  and  commenced  his  pastorate  August 
I,  1845,  expecting  to  close  up  and  go  back  at  the  end  of 
a  year. 

The  church  sent  a  conunittee  each  year  for  seventeen 
years,  to  renew  the  call.  The  people  in  this  region  know 
whether  his  labors  during  this  long  pastorate  were  a  suc- 
cess or  a  failure.  He  has  preached  during  the  pastorate 
three  thousand  two  hundred  and  seventy-one  sermons; 
baptized  into  the  fellowship  of  the  church  three  hundred 
and  eighty-six;  two  hundred  and  seven  were  received  by 
letter,  and  eighty  by  relation  and  restoration,  making 
six  hundred  and  seventy-three  additions.  Number  of 
members  in  1845  two  hundred  and  sixty-nine;  number  in 
1863  three  hundred  and  twenty-six.  The  church  con- 
tinued in  great  harmony  during  this  period,  with  very 
little  disturbance.  During  the  period  of  the  civil  war  it 
required  great  prudence  to  steer  the  ship  of  Zion  through 
the  troubled  waters,  but  she  got  through  safe  and  sound. 

In  the  spring  of  1853  the  church  resolved  to  erect  a 
new  house  of  worship,  and  secured  a  lot  with  a  good 
dwelling  on  Mill  street,  and  broke  ground  for  founda- 
tion the  1st  of  April.  On  the  19th  of  November,  1854, 
the  last  services  were  held  in  the  old  meeting  house  which 
had  been  occupied  for  over  thirty  years,  and  the  church 
used  the  basement  of  the  new  church  on  December  3d, 
following.  The  house  was  not  completed  for  dedication 
until  August  19,  1855.  when  Drs.  S.  W.  Lynd  and  R.  T. 
Dillard  preached  on  the  occasion  to  a  full  house  at  11  a. 
m.  and  4  p.  m.  The  cost  of  the  house  was  $15,000.  We 
raised  by  subscription  $8,296,  by  collection  and  subscrip- 
tion on  day  of  dedication  $7g6.yT^,  and  the  contractors  al- 


8  THE   CHURCH    RECORD. 

lowed  us  $2,500  for  material  of  old  house,  leaving  a  debt 
of  $110.86  which  was  subsequently  discharged.  The 
church  prospered  in  this  new  and  beautiful  house,  when, 
on  the  night  of  January  3,  1859,  it  was  burned  to  the 
ground.  A  burning  shingle  from  a  stable  on  fire,  on  the 
opposite  side  of  the  street,  was  blown  into  the  cupola  and 
the  firemen  had  not  the  appliances  to  reach  and  put  out 
the  fire.  The  pastor  was  returning  from  a  trip  to  Illinois 
and  at  Cincinnati  was  informed  of  the  sad  disaster.  On 
reaching  Lexington  he  found  his  church  in  great  distress 
on  account  of  the  disaster,  and  it  was  a  number  of  months 
before  the  members  could  agree  upon  rebuilding  as  to 
the  location.  A  portion  was  favorable  to  rebuilding  upon 
the  same  ground,  others  regarded  the  "Old"  Baptist  grave 
yard  a  better  place,  because  of  the  spacious  ground.  It 
was  finally  agreed  that  the  contribution  should  decide  the 
matter.  This  stimulated  activity  and  liberal  subscription. 
More  money  was  subscribed  for  the  grave  yard  and  the 
others  acquiesced.  It  was  not  till  January  i,  i860, one  year 
after  the  fire,  the  basement  was  fitted  up  for  worship,  and 
a  year  later  before  the  auditorium  was  completed.  Dr.  D. 
R.  Campbell,  of  Georgetown,  and  Rev.  George  C.  Lor- 
rimer  were  with  us  and  preached  on  the  occasion.  Pre- 
vious to  this  the  church  worshiped  sometimes  in  the  old 
city  hall  and  in  the  theater  and  we  were  all  glad  to  be 
settled  in  our  new  home.  About  the  first  of  1863  the 
pastor  resigned  his  charge,  although  the  annual  call  was 
renewed.  The  reason  was  this:  For  a  number  of  years 
the  board  of  the  general  association  had  been  located  in 
Lexington,  and  he  had  acted  as  financial  secretary  of  all 
branches  of  its  work,  viz.,  state,  foreign  and  domestic 
missions,  Sunday-school  and  colportage,  and  the  duties 
were  so  numerous  and  such  a  tax  on  his  time  he  could  not 
do  justice  to  his  church  as  a  pastor  or  to  himself  under  the 
heavy  responsibility  resting  upon  him.  The  prosperity 
of  the  church  demanded  the  whole  time  of  her  minister. 
He  advised  the  church  to  call  Rev.  Wm.  H.  Felix,  a 
young  man  full  of  promise  of  usefulness,  and  well 
isquipped  by  education  for  the  position.  The  church 
acted  upon  his  suggestion,  and  on  the  6th  of  September, 
1863,  Rev.  Felix,  having  accepted  the  invitation  of  the 
church,  entered  upon  the  pastorate  and  continued  until 
May,  1869,  when  he  resigned  and  settled  as  pastor  of  the 
church  at  Covington,  Ky.  During  this  period  of  six 
years  the  church  was  increased  to  four  hundred  and 
twenty-five  membership.     He  was  much  beloved  by  his 


FIRST    BAPTIST   CHURCH.  9 

church  and  respected  by  the  community.  He  was  suc- 
ceeded by  Elder  George  Hunt,  who  was  pastor  for  about 
four  years — from  1869  to  1873.  Brother  Hunt  was  fol- 
lowed by  L.  B.  Woolfolk.  who  continued  in  the  office  be- 
tween four  and  five  years,  and  he  was  followed  by  Elder 
Lansing  Burrows.  x\fter  him  came  Elder  J.  C.  Hiden, 
who  was  pastoi  from  1884  to  1887.  In  1887  Elder  W. 
H.  Felix  was  called  to  the  pastorate  the  second  time,  and 
is  now  closing  the  tenth  year  of  the  second  pastorate. 
When  he  came  to  the  church  in  June,  1887,  there  were 
four  hundred  and  twenty-five  members;  now  there  are 
over  nine  hundred,  having  himself  received  between  six 
and  seven  hundred  into  the  church. 


Biographical  Sketch  of  Pastor. 


Rev.  William  H.  Felix,  pastor  of  the  First  Baptist 
Church  of  Lexington,  was  born  in  Martinsville.  Wood-

He  remained  on  his  father's  farm  until  he  was  sixteen 
years  of  age.  In  1855  ^^^  entered  Georgetown  College 
and  was  graduated  from  that  institution  in  i860.  He 
then  took  charge  of  a  Baptist  church  at  Newcastle.  Henry 
county,  Ky.  He  was  ordained  by  Dr.  Duncan  R.  Camp-

ministry  he  read  law  and  was  admitted  to  the  bar  in  1862 
and  practiced  law  one  year  in  Shelbyville.  Ky. 

In  1863.  Mr.  Felix  was  called  to  take  charge  of  the 
First  Baptist  Church  of  Lexington.  Ky..  and  served  until 
1869.  when  he  received  a  call  from  the  Pilgrim  Baptist 
Church  of  New  York  City,  and  was  pastor  of  that  church

When  he  came  to  Lexington  in  1887  the  church  had  four 
hundred  and  twenty-five  members;  after  his  nine  years  of

married  the  second  time  in  1875  ^"^^  ^Y  this  union  one 
son  and  one  daughter  were  born. 

There  are  few  men  in  the  ministry  whose  labors  have 
produced  a  greater  portion  of  good.  Wherever  he  is 
known  he  is  greatly  loved  and  respected.

Historical  Sketch. 

By  Rev.  Otis  Hughson. 

The  Fifth  Street  Baptist  Church  of  Lexington  was 
organized  a  regular  Baptist  church  on  the  evening  of 
January  15,  1892.  There  had  been  a  Sunday-school  in 
the  chapel  in  which  the  organization  was  effected,  for 
several  years  conducted  as  a  mission  from  the  First  Bap- 
tist Church.  The  membership  numbered  but  six  on  the 
evening  of  its  beginning.  For  two  weeks  the  church  had 
its  pulpit  supplied  by  students  of  the  Southern  Baptist 
Theological  Seminary  in  Louisville  and  on  the  first  Sun- 
day in  February  called  to  its  pastorate  Rev.  Otis  Hugh- 
son,  who  was  then  a  student  in  the  seminary.  For  two 
years  and  a  half  the  only  place  of  worship  was  the  little 
frame  chapel  that  had  been  built  for  Sunday-school  pur- 
poses. In  the  middle  of  the  summer  of  1893,  in  con- 
junction with  the  First  Church,  a  new  building  was  be- 
gun, but  on  account  of  the  serious  depression  in  business 
and  financial  matters  the  building  was  only  half  finished. 
It  remained  in  this  condition  for  over  a  year.  On  the 
i8th  of  November,  1894,  the  new  home  was  dedicated  by 
Rev.  W.  H.  Felix,  D.  D.,  pastor  of  the  First  Baptist 
Church  and  humanly  speaking  the  founder  of  the  new 
organization.  The  membership  grew  gradually,  reaching 
at  the  fifth  anniversary  the  number  of  two  hundred.  It 
is  proper  to  mention  that  the  property  consisting  of  the 
new  church  building  and  the  lot  of  ground  upon  which  it 
stands,  valued  at  $7,000,  was  a  present  from  the  First 
Baptist  Church,  except  about  $i,5CX3,  which  the  Fifth 
Street  Church  paid  in  constructing  or  improving  the 
building.  The  church  has  been  from  the  beginning 
thoroughly  united,  vigorously  resisting  any  effort  to  gen- 
erate contention  and  strife  and  promptly  dismissing  those 
who  persisted  in  disturbing  her  peace  and  concord.

Biographical  Sketch  of  Pastor. 


Rev.  Otis  Hughson  was  born  near  Charlottesville, 
Virginia,  January  29,  1863.  His  childhood  and  youth 
were  spent  on  the  farm,  receiving  such  education  as  was 
furnished  by  the  common  public  schools,  which  was  very 
meager  at  that  time,  rarely  reaching  over  five  months  in 
the  year.  At  the  age  of  seventeen,  having  learned  teleg- 
raphy, he  was  employed  by  various  telegraph  and  rail- 
road companies  as  telegraph  operator,  finally  reaching  the 
office  of  train  dispatcher  for  the  Chesapeake  &  Ohio  Rail- 
road situated  at  Richmond,  Mrginia,  and  having  charge 
of  the  transportation  department  over  the  portion  of  road 
from  Charlottesville  to  Old  Point.  At  twenty-two  years 
of  age  he  united  with  the  Leigh  Street  Baptist  Church  of 
Richmond,  \  irginia,  and  in  September,  1885,  having  re- 
signed his  position  of  dispatcher,  entered  Richmond  Col- 
lege to  begin  his  collegiate  course.  Three  years  were 
spent  there,  graduating  in  various  schools.  In  the 
autumn  of  1888  he  began  his  university  studies  at  the 
University  of  Virginia.  At  this  institution  he  graduated 
in  chemistry,  moral  philosophy,  natural  philosophy,  his- 
torical science  and  received  proficiencies  in  several  special 
departments  that  did  not  lead  to  diplomas.  After  three 
years  at  the  university  he  went  in  1891  to  the  Southern 
Baptist  Theological  Seminary,  remaining  only  one  ses- 
sion, during  which  time  he  graduated  in  five  schools.  New 
Testament,  Interpretation,  Systematic  Theology,  Pas-

UPPER-STREET  BAPTIST  CHURCH. 


Historical  Sketch. 


This  church  was  organized  in  1875.  Having  no  build- 
ing of  their  own,  held  their  meetings  in  the  Masonic  Hall, 
the  First  Baptist  Church  and  other  places.  On  May  19, 
i875>  the  Melodeon  Hall  was  rented  in  which  to  hold 


rPPER-STREET    BAPTIST   CHIRCH. 


their  meetings.  Sept.  8,  1875,  R^^.  J.  M.  Frost  accepted 
a  call  to  the  pastorate,  being  their  first  pastor.  During 
his  four  years"  charge  he  built  up  the  church  wonderfully 
and  was  greatly  beloved  by   all. 

On  December    i,  1875,  a  lot  was  purchased   on  the 
(28) 


UPPER  STREET   BAPTIST   CHURCH.  29 

corner  of  Church  and  Upper  streets,  on  which  to  build 
a  meeting  house.  On  October  14,  1877.  the  present 
building-  was  dedicated.  Rev.  J.  P.  Bovce  preached  the 
dedication  sermon. 

Mr.  Frost  was  succeeded  as  pastor  by  Rev.  T-  T- 
Taylor,  who  remained  with  the  church  for  seven  years 
and  was  a  most  acceptable  pastor  in  every  way.  He  now 
has  charge  of  one  of  the  largest  churches  in  Montgomery, 
Ala.  The  next  pastor  called  to  this  church  was  Rev.  F. 
R.  Raymond,  who  had  charge  for  three  years  and  was 
followed  by  Rev.  W.  S.  Splawn.  who  after  serving  three 
years  accepted  a  call  to  a  church  in  Texas.  The  present 
pastor,  Rev.  J.  H.  Boyet,  came  next,  and  is  doing  great 
good  by  his  untiring  labors  for  the  upbuilding  of  his 
church.  On  February  18,  1875,  this  church  was 
christened  the  "Pilgrim  Baptist  Church,"  but  on  July  4, 
1877,  it  was  changed  to  the  "Upper  Street  Baptist 
Church"  and  still  bears  that  name. 


Biographical  Sketch  of  Pastor. 


John  H.  Boyet,  D.  D..  pastor  of  Upper  Street  Baptist 
Church,  was  born  in  Tipton  county,  Tenn.,  Avigust  11, 
1847,  ^rid  moved  with  his  parents  to  Lamar  county, 
Texas,  in  1856.  He  grew  to  manhood  with  only  the 
educational  advantages  afforded  in  the  common  sum- 
mer schools  of  the  country  and  human  nature  as  he  saw 
it  among  the  Westerners  and  the  Indians  along  the 
border.  He  was  familiar  with  the  lasso,  the  broncho,  the 
red  man  and  all  the  dangers  to  body  and  soul  incident  to 
life  in  such  surroundings.  He  served  in  the  Confederate 
cavalry  the  last  year  of  the  war,  and  knew  the  Indian  as 
a  soldier,  a  scout  and  a  spy.  When  the  war  was  over, 
and  the  awful  experiences  of  a  few  years  in  which  the 
country  was  filled  with  murderers  and  highwaymen  had 
their  day,  and  came  to  grief,  many  of  them,  at  the  hands 
of  young  Confederates  who  longed  for  peace  and  rest 
from  strife,  he  settled  down  to  work  and  study  with  a 
thirst  for  knowledge  which  drank  at  every  fountain 
opened  to  him,  until  he  literally  carved  out  for  himself  a 
future.  He  was  ordained  to  the  ministry  in  1873,  and 
from  that  time  gave  himself  exclusively  to  preaching  and 


30 


THE   CHURCH   RECORI 


further  preparation  for  his  Hfe  work.  He  spent  a  time 
in  the  Southern  Theological  Seminar}^  at  Louisville,  and 
was  in  a  private  way  a  pupil  of  Dr.  John  A.  Broadus 
afterward.  Availing  himself  of  the  benefits  of  a  strong 
personal  friendship  of  some  of  the  great  men  of  his  de- 
nomination he  was  able  to  make  good,  in  a  large  measure, 
what  he  lacked  of  early  advantages.  He  preached  all 
over  Texas  during  a  period  of  seventeen  years  and  saw 
over  six  thousand    people  converted,    in  the    meantime

serving  as  pastor  at  Paris,  Sulphur  Springs  and  Honey 
Grove,  all  important  points.  He  was  often  in  demand 
at  college  commencements  and  received  the  degree  of 
D.D.  in  1 887  from  the  Keechi  College.  La.  He  was  one  of 
the  founders  of  the  "Texas  Baptist  Standard,"  which  now 
has  the  largest  circulation  of  any  Baptist  paper  in  the 
South.  He  has  also  written  several  small  books  and  has 
published  many  sermons  and  other  articles  in  the  lead- 
ing church  periodicals. 

In  i8go  Mr.  Boyet  became  pastor  of  the  First  Church 
of  Owensboro.  Ky.,  where  his  success  was  conspicuous 
until  failing  health  influenced  him  to  go  South  for  a  time, 
when  for  eighteen  months  he  did  a  remarkable  work  at 


UPPER-STREET  BAPTIST  CHURCH. 


31 


Mcksburg,  Miss.,  acting'  at  the  same  time  as  associate 
editor  of  the  "Baptist  Layman"  in  that  state.  Since  leaving 
Texas  in  1890,  he  has  held  great  revival  meetings  in 
Louisville,  Memphis,  Nashville,  Little  Rock,  Natchez 
and  New  Orleans,  besides  many  smaller  cities  North  and 
South. 

Dr.  Boyet  became  pastor  of  the  L^pper  Street  Church 
June  I,  1895,  and  has  in  twenty  months  increased  the 
membership  from  less  than  three  hundred  and  fifty  to 
more  than  five  hundred.  His  congregations  always  fill 
the  house  and  there  are  accessions  and  baptisms  almost 
every  Lord's  day.  He  teaches  a  large  class,  preaches 
twice  on  Sunday  and  attends  three  other  night  meetings 
through  the  week.  Besides  his  work  as  pastor  Dr.  Boyet 
manages  to  hold  a  ten  days'  meeting  every  two  months 
at  some  place  in  the  state.  He  also  appears  often  on  the 
platform,  and  has  won  for  himself  a  name  as  a  popular 
lecturer.  He  is  frequently  on  the  programme  of  National 
gatherings  and  was  for  several  years  one  of  the  board  of 
managers  of  the  Baptist  Young  Peoples  Union  of 
America.

BROADWAY  CHRISTIAN  CHURCH. 


Historical  Sketch. 

By  Elder  J.  W.  McGarvey. 

This  church  came  into  existence  as  a  branch  from 
the  church  then  meeting  in  the  old  house  near  Phoenix 
Hotel,  on  Main  street.  The  latter  had  enjoyed  a  very  rapid 
growth  from  the  year  1865  till  the  year  1869,  when  the 
audiences  became  too  large  for  their  house  of  worship, 
and  a  separate  meeting  for  such  as  saw  fit  to  attend  it  was 
organized  in  the  old  opera  house,  corner  of  ]\Iain  and 
Broadway,  January  i,  1870.  In  the  spring  of  1870.  the 
old  Presbyterian  house  of  worship  on  the  corner  of  Broad- 
way and'Second  streets  was  purchased  for  the  accommo- 
dation of  this  meeting,  and  was  first  occupied  by  it  on 
May  1st  of  that  year.  On  June  25th  of  the  year  1871,  it 
was  thought  best  by  the  whole  church  to  organize  those 
meeting  there  into  an  independent  church.  This  or- 
ganization was  effected  on  Lord's  day,  July  i6th,  by  the 
enrollment,  with  the  consent  of  the  mother  church,  of 
all  who  chose  to  enter  into  it.  The  whole  number  then 
enrolled  was  one  hundred  and  twenty-eight. 

J.  W.  ATcGarvey,  who  had  been  already  selected  bv 
the  undivided  church  to  preach  in  that  hotise  every  Lord's 
day.  was  continued  in  that  service,  and  the  church  was 
fully  organized  by  the  election  and  ordination  of  elders 
and  deacons  the  same  year.  The  elders  first  appointed 
were  W.  B.  Enmial,  Dr.  L  N.  Hodgen,  Dr.  R.  A.  Gibney, 
and  J.  W.  McGarvev;  the  deacons,  Robert  Mc^NIichael, 
J.  M.  Hocker,  L  Y.  Smith,  J.  L.  Shivel,  D.  D.  Laudeman, 
J.  P.  Metcalf,  J.   I>.  Wallace  and  James  Frost. 

J.  W.  ]VIcGarvey  was  both  the  preacher  for  this  young 
congregation  and  professor  of  sacred  history  in  the  Col- 
lege of  the  Bible;  and  he  continued  this  double  service 
until  the  close  of  the  year  1881,  when  the  church  had  so 
grown  in  numbers  that  the  time  which  could  be  spared 
from  his  ])rofessorship  was  inadequate  to  the  demands  of 
the  church  work.    He  conseciuently  resigned,  and  John  S.

BROADWAY   CHRISTIAN   CHURCH.

Shotise,  of  Midway,  Ky.,  was  chosen  to  take  his  place. 
At  this  time  the  number  of  members  was  about  three 
hundred  and  fifty,  and  these,  together  with  the  boarding 
pupils  of  Hamilton  Female  College,  and  many  students  of 
the  College  of  the  Bible  and  Kentucky  University  who 
were  regular  attendants,  frequently  crowded  the  house  of 
worship.  Under  the  services  of  J.  S.  Shouse  this  growth 
continued  until  it  became  necessary  to  provide  more 
seating  capacity  for  the  large  congregations.  All  prac- 
ticable plans  for  enlarging  the  old  house  were  considered 


BROADWAY    CHRISTIAN    CHUKCH. 


and  found  unsatisfactory,  so  it  was  finally  decided  to  build 
a  new  one.  Search  was  made  for  a  suitable  lot  in  the 
vicinity,  but  none  that  could  be  purchased  was  found,  and 
it  became  necessary  to  tear  down  the  old  building  and 
erect  the  new  one  on  the  old  site.  J.  S.  Shouse  under- 
took to  secure  the  necessary  subscriptions  of  money,  and 
had  scarcely  succeeded  when  he  was  induced  to  resign 
his  position  and  accept  the  work  of  soliciting  for  an  in- 
crease of  the  endowment  of  Kentuckv  University.  His 
term  of  service  closed  with  the  year  1890.  In  this  crisis, 
O.  A.  Bartholomew,  of  St.  Louis,  Mo.,  was  induced  to 
serve  the  church  for  one  year  in  the  double  capacity  of 


42  THE   CHURCH   RECORD. 

regular  preacher  and  architect  of  the  new  building.  The 
new  house  of  worship  and  a  parsonage  were  constructed 
under  his  supervision  and  according  to  plans  and  speci- 
fications drawn  up  by  him.  On  the  first  Lord's  day  of 
September,  1891,  the  new  house,  with  a  seating  capacity 
of  about  one  thousand,  was  formally  set  apart  for  public 
worship  to  the  great  delight  of  the  congregation,  which 
had  for  six  months  worshiped  in  the  chapel  of  the 
university.  The  cost  of  the  two  buildings  was  about 
$22,000. 

But  previous  to  this,  in  the  year  1888,  for  the  purpose 
of  relieving  the  overcrowded  condition  of  its  audiences, 
as  also  for  the  sake  of  more  efificient  evangelizing  in  the 
city,  the  church  had  bought  a  lot  on  Chestnut  street,  and 
erected  a  house  of  worship  on  it  at  a  cost  of  about  $6,500. 
Here  services  were  maintained  regularly  by  members  of 
the  congregation,  who  were  preachers,  with  the  as- 
sistance of  some  of  the  elders  and  deacons,  until  the 
month  of  December,  1891,  when  an  independent  church 
was  organized  there.  This  church  being  financially 
weak  at  first,  the  mother  church  continued  to  help  it  finan- 
cially for  several  years. 

At  the  close  of  the  engagement  with  O.  A.  Bartholo- 
mew, Mark  Collis,  who  had  been  for  six  years  Professor 
of  English  Language  and  Literature  in  Kentucky  Uni- 
versity, was  induced  to  resign  that  work  and  serve  the 
church,  which  he  has  continued  to  do  until  the  time  of  this 
writing.  The  increase  of  membership  which  has  marked 
the  histor}'  of  the  church  from  its  beginning  has  not  been 
interrupted  and  the  congregation  now  numbers  about 
nine  hundred  members,  besides  about  two  hundred  who 
have  moved  away  from  the  city  without  changing  their 
church  membership. 

Throughout  the  history  of  this  church  it  has  borne  a 
part  in  the  benevolent  work  of  the  city  of  Lexington,  and 
has  contributed  liberally  to  the  support  of  the  gospel  in 
the  state  of  Kentucky,  in  the  more  needy  parts  of  our 
whole  country,  and  among  the  heathen. '  Its  members 
have  manifested  an  interest  in  the  poor  and  the  sinning  in 
every  part  of  the  world.  No  class  or  race  of  men  are  be- 
yond the  reach  of  their  sympathy,  and  this  largely  ac- 
counts, no  doubt,  for  the  abundant  blessings  which  God 
has  bestowed  upon  the  church.  Her  devotion  to  the 
faith  and  practice  of  the  primitive  church,  for  the  defense 
and  maintenance  of  which  she  has  ever  stood,  knows  no 
abatement,  and  she  has  confidence  that  in  the  years  to 


BROADWAY   CHRISTIAN   CHURCH.  43 

come  there  is  a  still  larger  work  for  her  to  do  than  all  that 
she  has  hitherto  accomplished.  Her  officers  now  con- 
sist of  five  elders  and  seventeen  deacons.  She  has  an  at- 
tendance every  Lord's  day  which  nearly  fills  her  large 
auditorium;  her  Sunday-school  is  large  and  growing;  her 
prayer-meeting  is  largely  attended;  and  her  young 
people,  in  their  special  lines  of  work,  are  active  and 
zealous.  She  has  every  reason  to  thank  God  and  take 
courage. 


Biographical  Sketch  of  Pastor. 


Mark  Collis,  the  minister  of  the  Broadway  Christian 
Church,  was  born  in  London,  Flngland,  September  21, 
1 85 1.  When  he  was  three  years  old  his  parents  emigrated 
to  South  Australia  and  established  themselves  in  the  city 
of  Adelaide.  There  he  was  brought  up  and  lived  till  he 
was  twenty-two  years  of  age.  When  fifteen  years  old  he 
obtained  employment  in  a  large  mercantile  house,  con- 
tinuing this  pursuit  up  to  the  time  of  his  majority,  at 
which  time  his  health  failing  him  he  withdrew  from  bus- 
iness and  sought  by  a  change  of  location  and  occupation 
for  the  strength  which  he  had  lost.  For  about  a  year,  on 
the  farm  of  a  brother-in-law,  he  followed  agriculture  more 
as  a  recreation  than  as  a  serious  business.  At  the  age  of 
eighteen  he  had  become  a  member  of  the  Christian 
church,  from  which  time  he  had  been  possessed  with  a 
desire  to  preach  the  gospel  and  had  frequently  taken  part 
in  the  public  services  of  the  congregation.  His  en- 
forced retirement  from  business  caused  him  to  think 
more  seriously  of  the  question  of  whether  he  ought  to  de- 
vote his  time  and  talents  to  mercantile  pursuits  or  to  the 
work  of  the  ministry.  At  last  he  determined  to  come  to 
Kentucky  University  to  spend  a  year  or  two,  after  which 
he  hoped  to  be  able  to  enter  upon  the  great  work  of  pro- 
claiming Christ  to  the  people.  So  in  1874  he  bade  fare- 
well to  his  parents  and  friends  in  Australia  and  came  to 
America,  expecting  to  see  them  all  again  m  two  or  three

Arts,  graduating  in  that  institution  in  1881,  and  deliver- 
ing the  Latin  salutatory.  While  in  college  he  employed 
almost  every  Sunday  in  preaching,  most  of  this  time  be- 
ing divided  between  the  congregations  of  Antioch  and 
Berea,  in  Fayette  county.  His  vacations  were  largely 
taken  up  with  protracted  meeting  work.  The  same

of  Lexington,  and  that  fall  he  accepted  a  call  to  the 
church  at  Alidway,  Ky.,  where  he  labored  for  four  years. 
During  the  last  year  of  his  ministry  there  he  made  a  visit 
to  his  father  and  friends  in  Australia,  his  mother  having 
died  while  he  was  in  college.  Soon  after  his  return 
he  was  invited  to  take  the  chair  of  English  Language  and 
Literature  in  Kentucky  Lniversity;  this  he  accepted,  re- 
luctantly giving  up  the  work  at  Midway,  which  had 
proved  very  delightful  to  him.  For  six  years  he  filled 
that  position,  when,  the  new  Broadway  Christian  Church

him  to  serve  it  as  its  preacher,  which  place  he  has  been 
filling  ever  since,  having  begun  his  sixth  year  of  service 
with  them  in  January  of  this  year.  Mr.  Collis  has  many

CENTRAL  CHRISTIAN  CHUPCH. 


Historical   Sketch. 


In  the  latter  part  of  1831,  a  little  band  of  nine  faith- 
ful and  devout  Christians,  pleading  for  the  "faith  once  de- 
livered to  the  saints,"  and  insisting  upon  a  return  to 
primitive  Christianity,  began  holding  meetings  every 
Sunday  in  their  private  houses  for  the  purpose  of  attend- 
ance upon  the  Lord's  Supper,  the  singing  of  hymns, 
prayer  and  exhortation.  These  nine  believers,  now  all 
save  one  gone  to  their  last  reward,  were  William  Poin- 
dexter  and  wife,  Thomas  Rogers  and  w'ife,  Mrs.  T.  S. 
Bell,  Mrs.  Joseph  Ficklen,  James  Schooley,  William  Van- 
pelt,  and  his  son  William  Vanpelt,  Jr.  These  meetings 
continued  through  the  year  1832.  God  greatly  blessed 
them,  for  the  membership  gradually  increased  until  early 
in  1833  the  little  band  had  grown  to  such  an  extent  that 
it  was  deemed  advisable  to  secure  a  permanent  place  for 
the  meetings  and  to  call  a  minister.  Accordingly  a  room 
on  Spring  street,  that  had  been  a  chair  factory,  was 
rented  from  William  Challen,  father  of  James  Challen, 
and  here  the  congregation  was  domiciled  and  organized, 
James  Challen  being  called  to  serve  as  minister. 

The  interior  of  the  old  factor}'  was  arranged  as  best 
they  could.  It  is  difificult  for  one  in  our  day  and  gener- 
ation to  conceive  of  the  rudeness  of  the  furniture  of  that 
old  room,  which  the  Disciples  then  doubtless  took  great 
pride  in.  Some  old  chairs  were  donated  by  the  members 
for  the  pulpit  and  chancel,  while  the  seats  proper  con- 
sisted of  some  clumsily  constructed  benches,  without 
backs.  No  carpet  covered  the  floor,  nor  was  the  light 
diffused  by  cathedral  glass.  They  did  not  exactly  "build 
a  pulpit  of  wood,"  but  they  secured  a  large  dr\'  goods 
box,  covered  it  with  cotton,  and  that  served  as  a  reading 
desk.  Amid  these  rude  surroundings  our  forefathers 
served  God,  and  who  is  there  to  say  they  were  not  as 
happy  then  as  those  of  us  who  sit  in  Central  Church  and 
enjoy  its  blessings  to-day?     It  is  not  probal^le  that  they

ever  complained  of  the  minister's  lengthy  sermons,  or 
hurried  the  service  to  get  home  in  time  for  early  Sunday 
dinner. 

But   amid   the   sweetness  of  this  Jheir  first   meeting 
place,  there  was  some  bitterness.     The  early  church  in  the 


CICNTKAL    CIIRISTIA.N    UllUKCII. 


days  of  Peter  and  Paul  was  persecuted,  and  this  early 
church  was  persecuted.  Not  to  such  an  extent,  it  is  true, 
but  persecuted  nevertheless.  Disagreeable  epithets  and 
ugly  names  were  applied  to  them.  They  were  called 
"water  dogs,"  "baptized  infidels,"  "Campbellites,"  etc.  A 
caricature  was  prepared  representing  a  huge  camel  with 
two  large  humps  upon  its  back,  labeled  "Alexander 
Campbell,"  and  beneath  this  was  printed  the  couplet : 
"Ho,  all  ye  sons  and  daughters. 
Here's  salvation  in  the  waters." 


68  THE   CHURCH   RECORD. 

But  in  spite  of  all  this  persecution  and  calumny  they 
stood  firm,  and  grew  in  spirit  and  numbers.  In  1834,  the 
congregation  had  outgrown  the  old  chair  factory,  and  the 
old  Oldham  cotton  factory,  that  stood  on  North  Broad- 
way, where  the  Skillman  residence  now  stands,  was 
rented.  This  was  arranged  better  than  was  the  chair 
factory,  and  here  services  were  held  for  several  years, 
until  a  union  took  place  between  them  and  the  so-called 
"Stoneites,"  a  body  of  Christians  holding  to  the  same  faith, 
that  had  sprung  up  in  the  meantime.  The  "Stoneites" 
had  erected  a  brick  building  at  the  comer  of  Mill  and 
High  streets.  The  day  this  union  was  consummated  was 
a  notable  one,  and  it  is  greatly  to  be  regretted  that  the 
exact  day  has  not  come  down  to  us.  The  services  doubt- 
less lasted  all  day,  among  the  venerable  ministers  taking 
part  being  Barton  W.  Stone,  J.  T.  Johnson,  Thomas  M. 
Allen,  John  Smith,  Frank  Palmer,  William  Morton, 
Thomas  Smith,  Jacob  Creath,  Sr.  The  union  was  cause 
for  great  rejoicing.  The  congregation  was  strengthened, 
and  took  its  place  in  the  city  as  an  "established  church." 
Allen  Kendrick  was  the  minister  of  the  united  forces,  and 
in  the  autumn  of  1840  he  held  the  first  protracted  meeting, 
lasting  two  months  and  adding  one  hundred  and  forty- 
eight  to  the  church.  This  addition  increased  the  mem- 
bership to  such  an  extent  that  the  High  street  building 
was  found  too  small  and  a  movement  was  set  on  foot  that 
resulted  in  the  building  of  the  old  Main  Street  Church. 
The  High  street  property  was  traded  for  the  lot  and  after 
some  little  difficulty  the  building  was  completed  early  in 
the  year  1843.  It  was  dedicated  in  the  spring.  President 
James  Shannon  preaching  the  sermon.  Shortly  after  the 
dedication  the  celebrated  Campbell-Rice  debate,  in  which 
Henry  Clay  acted  as  chairman,  was  held  in  the  building, 
lasting  for  eighteen  days.  William  McChesney  suc- 
ceeded Allen  Kendrick  as  minister,  and  he  in  turn  was 
succeeded  by  Samuel  Church.  A.  L.  Robbins  succeeded 
Church,  and  A.  L.  Jones,  J.  G.  Tompkins.  James  Hen- 
shall  and  the  venerable  John  T.  Rogers  followed.  In 
i860  W.  H.  Hopson  was  called  and  served  one  year  until 
1861,  when  J.  W.  McGarvey  was  called.  During  the  war 
the  church  had  many  vicissitudes.  The  building  was 
seized  and  used  as  a  hospital  by  both  the  Federal  and 
Confederate  troops,  but  at  the  close  of  the  war  the  church 
was  stronger  than  ever,  and  found  it  necessary  to  estab- 
lish another  congregation  in  the  city,  and  Broadway 
Church  was  organized  with  a  membership  of  one  hun-

dred  and  twenty-six.  L.  B.  Wilkes  was  called  as  min- 
ister in  1868,  and  was  succeeded  in  1872  by  Moses  E. 
Lord.  T.  N.  Arnold  followed  in  1873;  C.  K.  Marshall  in 
1874;  W.  H.  Hopson  was  recalled  in  1878,  and  was  suc- 
ceeded by  W.  F.  Cowden  in  1881.  R.  T.  Mathews  came 
in  1885  and  served  faithfully  and  well  for  ten  years,  he 
being  the  last  to  serve  in  the  old  building.  For  fifty 
years  the  congregation  worshiped  God  in  this  building. 
Children  grew  up  in  the  church  and  their  children  in 
turn  grew  up.  Year  by  year  God  prospered  the  congrega- 
tion. Year  by  year  the  membership  grew  in  numbers; 
year  by  year  came  the  children  from  the  Sunday-school 
to  the  church,  and  in  after  years  their  children  came  from 
the  Sunday-school.  In  all  these  years  the  membership 
grew  not  only  in  numbers,  but  in  grace  and  in  love  for 
one  another.  But  the  building  that  had  served  them  so 
well,  that  had  witnessed  so  many  happy  marriages  and 
sad  funerals,  whose  walls  had  echoed  with  the  voices  of 
so  manv  godly  men  and  women,  began  to  decay,  and  the 
members  began  to  talk  of  a  new  house  or  of  remodeling 
the  old  one. 

In  the  latter  part  of  1891  the  movement  for  the 
erection  of  a  new  house  of  worship  began  to  assume 
definite  shape,  and  on  the  evening  of  the  7th  of  December 
of  that  year,  after  public  announcement  from  the  pulpit 
on  the  two  Sundays  preceding,  and  the  mailing  of  a  postal 
card  to  each  member,  the  congregation  assembled  "for 
the  purpose  of  considering  and  finally  determining  the 
question  whether  we  would  remodel  the  present  house  of 
worship,  or  buy  and  build  elsewhere."  This  meeting, 
presided  over  by  Alex  McClintock,  one  of  the  elders  of 
the  church,  was  a  large  and  representative  one,  and  each 
member  present  felt  the  importance  of  the  occasion. 
After  considerable  discussion,  it  was  determined,  almost 
unanimously,  to  "buy  and  build  elsewhere."  A  commit- 
tee consisting  of  three  members  from  each  of  the  then 
wards  of  the  city,  was  appointed,  charged  with  the  duty 
of  selecting  a  suitable  location,  and  to  report  to  a  sub- 
sequent meeting  of  the  congregation.  This  committee, 
after  careful  deliberation,  selected  the  lot  known  as  the 
old  Masonic  property,  at  the  corner  of  Short  and  Walnut 
streets,  which  was  forthwith  purchased,  and  plans  for  the 
new  building  drawn,  submitted  to  the  congregation  and 
accepted. 

It  was  not  without  some  difficulty  that  a  purchaser  tor 
the  old  property  was   found,  but   these  difficulties   were

overcome  l)y  the  committee  of  twelve,  which  was  con- 
tinued as  a  buildin_s^  committee  for  the  new  house,  and  on 
the  7th  of  May,  1893,  the  cornerstone  was  laid  with  ap- 
propriate ceremonies.  The  work  on  the  building  pro- 
ceeded as  rapidly  as  possible  under  the  circumstances. 
It  was  not,  however,  until  July,  1894,  that  the  work  was 
completed.  On  the  22d  of  that  month  the  dedicatory 
services  were  held,  the  sermon  proper  being  delivered  by 
the  minister,  R.  T.  ]\Iathews,  who  had  worked  so  faith- 
fully for  the  completion  of  the  building. 

Before  the  finishing  touches  had  been  put  upon  the 
new  house,  the  minister,  Mr.  Mathews,  was  called  to  a 
field  of  larger  usefulness,  accepting  in  September,  1894, 
a  chair  in  the  Bible  College  of  Drake  University.  He 
was  succeeded  in  January,  1895,  by  the  present  minister, 
I.  J.  Spencer,  who  has  endeared  himself  to  every  mem- 
ber of  the  congregation.  Lhider  his  faithful  ministry 
the  work  of  the  clutrch  is  constantly  growing  in  useful- 
ness, the  missionary  spirit  continually  enlarging  and 
spreading,  while  the  membership  is  gradually  increasing 
Sunday  by  Sunday. 

In  September,  1896,  the  church  began  the  work  of 
establishing  a  mission  in  South  Lexington,  purchasing  a 
lot  at  the  corner  of  Mill  and  Cedar  streets,  upon  which 
it  is  hoped  to  erect  during  1897  a  comfortable  house  of 
worship. 


Biographical  Sketch  of  Pastor. 


I.  J.  Spencer,  the  subject  of  this  sketch,  was  born  in 
Belmont  county,  Ohio,  and  was  reared  on  a  farm.  At 
the  age  of  twelve  the  management  of  the  farm  devolved 
upon  him  and  his  widowed  mother,  whose  husband  and 
two  sons  had  died  during  the  civil  w^ar.  He  was  suc- 
cessful in  business,  and  when,  eight  years  later,  he  had 
decided  to  enter  college  and  prepare  for  the  ministry, 
a  wealthy  and  wordly  old  uncle  wept  to  think  that  so 
good  a  farmer  was  soon  to  degenerate  into  a  preacher. 
Mr.  Spencer  had  been  a  life-long  student,  had  attended 
Hillsdale  College,  in  Michigan,  before  making  up  his 
mind  to  study  for  the  ministry,  and  had  also  taught  two 
sessions  in  the  public  school.  The  ministry  was  chosen 
after    much    prayerful    deliberation    and    in  the  face    of

numerous  wordly  interests.  He  had  joined  the  Metho- 
dist Episcopal  church  when  a  boy,  but  having  been  con- 
vinced that  nothing  except  immersion  answered  to  the 
act  of  baptism  and  that  only  believers  were  the  scriptural 
subjects  of  the  ordinance,  he  left  the  Methodist  church,

united  with  the  Disciples  of  Christ,  and  determined  to 
enter  Bethany  College,  from  which  he  graduated  in  1875 
as  the  valedictorian  of  his  class. 

His  first  regular  service  as  a  minister  was  devoted  to 
the  church  in  Bellaire,  Ohio,  where  in  his  first  protracted 
meeting  fifty-five  persons  confessed  Christ  and  were 
baptized.     The  church  grew  under  his  ministry  for  five

years,  after  which  he  left  it  to  accept  a  call  to  the  First 
Christian  Chvirch  of  Baltimore.  While  in  Baltimore,  in 
1878,  he  married  JMiss  Louise  Pendleton,  a  daughter  of 
Dr.  Philip  B.  Pendleton,  of  Louisa  county,  Virginia,  and 
a  niece  of  Dr.  W.  K.  Pendleton,  then  president  of  Beth- 
any College. 

Mr.  Spencer's  health  failed  in  Baltimore,  after  two 
years,  and  he  went  South,  spending  two  years  in  lighter 
labors  in  Augusta,  Georgia,  and  Clarksville,  Tennessee. 
From  Clarksville  he  removed  to  Virginia  and  assumed 
editorial  charge  of  the  "Missionary  Weekly,"  which  jour- 
nal under  his  management  for  nine  years  grew  constantly 
in  circulation  and  influence.  Having  entirely  recovered 
his  health  he  decided  to  give  himself  wholly  to  preaching 
and  to  pastoral  labor.  He  accepted  a  call  to  the  First 
Church,  Winchester,  Ky.,  in  1891,  and  remained  there 
for  nearly  two  years.  During  his  stay  with  this  church 
more  than  two  hundred  new  members  were  received. 

From  Winchester  he  moved  to  Louisville  and  for  a 
little  more  than  a  year  preached  for  the  Broadway  Chris- 
tian Church.  Under  his  ministr}'  on  Broadway  a  large 
number  w  ere  added  to  the  church.  Having  been  called 
to  the  Central  Church,  Lexington,  Ky.,  he  accepted  the 
call  and  began  his  labors  with  it  on  January-  i,  1895. 
During  his  term  of  a  little  more  than  two  years  with  the 
Central  Church  more  than  three  hundred  have  been 
added  to  the  congregation  and  the  church  is  now  one  of 
the  largest,  most  aggressive  and  liberal  congregations  in 
the  denomination  or  in  the  South. 

Mrs.  Spencer  is  a  most  intelligent  and  efficient  help- 
meet. Their  children  consist  of  three  daughters  and  one 
son.  In  addition  to  Mr.  Spencer's  regular  work  as  a 
pastor  he  writes  occasional  doctrinal,  missionary  and 
other  practical  articles  for  the  press,  holds  protracted 
meetings,  in  which  many  have  been  gathered  into  the 
churches,  and  is  now  giving  attention  to  special  lines  of 
work  on  behalf  of  the  children.

CHESTNUT- ST. CHRISTIAN  CHURCH, 


Historical  Sketcii. 

By  Rev.  J.  W.  Taylor. 

In  1888,  under  the  direction  of  the  Broadway  Chris- 
tian Church,  a  mission  Sunday-school  was  started  and 
carried  on  with  the  assistance  of  students  from  the  Col- 
lege of  the  Bible,  at  No.  34  Chestnut  street.  In  a  short 
tmie  there  was  a  demand  for  preaching,  and  soon  the 
cottage  became  too  small  for  the  number  attending  these 
services.  In  1889,  a  brick  house  of  worship  was  built, 
dedicated  and  called  the  Chestnut  Street  Christian 
Church.  After  the  completion  of  the  house,  services 
were  conducted  by  professors  and  students  of  the  Col- 
lege of  the  Bible  until  the  fall  of  1890,  when  the  services 
of  Brother  T.  S.  Tinsley  were  engaged.  He  proved  to 
be  a  proficient  and  successful  minister  of  the  gospel,  and, 
under  his  leadership,  the  cause  rapidly  advanced.  Broad- 
way church  at  first  supported  the  work,  then  when  the 
church  became  stronger,  they  supplemented  all  finan- 
cial deficiencies  until  in  1893  the  work  was  entirely  self- 
sustaining. 

The  first  Lord's  day  in  January,  1892,  Brothers 
Shouse  and  Tinsley  ordained"  the  following  ofBcers: 
Elders — John  Simpson  and  I.'  M.  Williams.  Deacons — 
S.  H.  Moores  and  C.  D.  Cunningham.  The  following 
July,  Brothers  W.  A.  Adams  and  F.  W.  Hunt  were 
elected  and  ordained  deacons. 

The  first  of  January,  1893,  Brother  W.  E.  Crab- 
tree  accepted  the  call  to  the  ministry  of  the  church. 
Under  his  faithful  service  the  membership  grew  rapidly 
in  numbers,  and  much  good  was  accomplished  both  in 
and  out  of  the  church. 

The  result  of  patient  and  diligent  work  on  the  part 
of  the  Ladies'  Aid  Society  and  young  people,  the  church 
was  carpeted  and  electric  lights  were  put  in,  adding 
greatly  to  the  comfort  and  beauty  of  the  church,

The  following  is  taken  from  the  record  book  of  the 
Board  of  Oflficers: 

"January-  i,  1897. 

"Four  years  have  passed  since  the  above  synopsis  of 
the  early  work  of  Chestnut  Street  Christian  Church  was 
made.  As  no  regular  minutes  have  been  kept  by  the 
Board  of  Officers,  we  must  again  outline  briefly  the  more 
important  events  which  have  occurred  in  the  interval 
since  the  close  of  the  year  1892.     Brother  W.  E.  Crab- 


CHESTNUT-STRKET    CHRISTI-VN    CHURCH. 


tree  served  the  church  as  minister  from  January  i,  1893, 
to  May  I,  1895.  Prof.  I.  B.  Grubbs  was  elected  an 
elder,  and  Brothers  W.  C.  G.  Hobbs  and  Geo.  Downing 
were  elected  as  deacons  during  the  time  that  Brother 
Crabtree  was  serving  the  congregation.  Brother  B.  C. 
Hagerman  was  the  minister  in  charge  from  August  i, 
1895,  to  June  I,  1896.  .  .  .  He  was  an  earnest  man, 
and  many  of  the  sermons  preached  will  be  long  remem- 
bered by  those  who  heard  him.  During  his  service  the 
Ladies'  Aid  Society  had  the  interior  of  the  church  nicely 


S6  THE   CHURCH   RECORD. 

frescoed,  and  Brother  Joe  Miller  was  elected  a  deacon 
by  the  congregation. 

"Brother  J.  W.  Taylor  began  his  services  with  the 
church  July  i,  1896,  and  continues  with  us  at  the  present 
writing.  .  .  .  The  congregation  now  numbers  more 
than  three  hundred  members,  a  fair  percentage  of  which 
are  active  workers.  All  departments  of  the  work  are 
now  doing  active  service,  the  Ladies'  Aid  Societ>'  de- 
serving special  mention.  The  C.  W.  B.  M.  is  composed 
of  an  earnest  band  of  women.  The  Young  Peoples'  So- 
ciety has  done  a  good  work,  adding  materially  to  the 
spiritual  development  of  its  workers.  The  Youug  Men's 
Prayer  Meeting,  which  has  met  weekly  for  three  years 
past,  numbers  among  its  attendants  our  most  earnest 
young  men.  The  Sunday-school  has  been  a  valuable 
factor  in  the  church;  a  large  percentage  of  the  church 
members  have  been  developed  and  brought  to  Christ 
through  its  work.     .     .     . 

"As  the  forces  of  the  church  are,  at  present,  well  or- 
ganized, we  hope,  through  the  blessings  of  an  all  wise 
Providence,  to  do  a  better  and  grander  work  during  the 
future  vears.'' 


Biographical  Sketch  of  Pastor. 


Rev.  John  W.  Taylor,  pastor  of  the  Chestnut  Street 
Christian  Church,  was  bom  in  Kansas  City,  Mo.,  May  27, 
1866.  He  attended  public  and  high  schools,  and  was  a 
student  at  Butler  University  for  three  sessions  prior  to 
entering  the  College  of  the  Bible  at  Lexington,  Ky.,  from 
which  he  graduated,  and  took  charge  of  a  church  at 
Burgin,  Ky.,  in  1890,  where  he  remained  for  two  years. 
From  there  he  went  to  Hicksville,  Ohio,  as  pastor  of  a 
church,  and  remained  there  for  two  years.  His  next 
charge  was  a  church  in  Defiance,  Ohio,  which  he 
served  for  two  years,  and  then  devoted  himself  to  evange- 
listic work  for  six  months  before  taking  charge  of  his 
present  church,  where  he  has  been  since  July,   1896. 

Mr.  Taylor  is  one  of  the  most  progressive  young  min- 
isters in  the  city,  and  the  present  flourishing  condition 
of  the  church  is  owing  greatly  to  his  energv'  and  faithful 
duties  as  a  devoted  pastor.

CHRIST  CHURCH  (EPISCOPAL). 


Historical  Sketch. 

By  Lyman  Beechkr  Todd,  M.  D.  , 

The  centun-  that  marks  the  history  of  Christ  Church, 
Lexington,  Ky.,  from  its  organization  in  1794  to  the 
present  time,  is  certainly  an  eventful  one,  considered  ec- 
clesiastically, historically  and  biographically. 
•  Those  early  Christians  who,  more  than  one  hundred 
years  ago,  erected  the  small  frame  house  upon  the  site 
of  the  present  church,  surely  builded  wiser  than  then 
they  knew. 

The  history  of  this  church  is  even  more  than  of  local 
or  state  importance ;  but  of  national  interest,  considering 
the  long  succession  of  learned  and  consecrated  minis- 
ters who  have  served  at  her  altar,  and  afterward  have 
gone  to  different  and  distant  parts  of  this  countrv',  whose 
influence  for  Christian  civilization  can  not  be  estimated, 
as  well  as  many  members  of  that  church  who  have  been 
useful  for  God  and  his  service  in  private  life,  in  the  state 
and  national  councils. 

The  Rev.  James  Moore,  of  Mrginia,  was  the  first 
rector,  called  in  17Q2.  He  was  learned  and  pious,  and 
of  beautiful  manners.  He  was  president  of  Transylvania 
University  in  1798,  and  died  the  22d  of  January,  1814, 
age  forty-nine  years. 

In  1808,  a  brick  house  of  larger  proportions  suc- 
ceeded the  frame  building,  and  strange  as  it  may  sound, 
the  funds  raised  for  this  building  were  started  in  a  lottery. 
Among  the  projectors  of  this  scheme  was  Lord  Alorton. 
He  is  ever  to  be  remembered  gratefully  by  citizens  of 
Lexington  as  having  made  a  donation  by  will  for  the 
establishment  of  a  public  school  for  the  children  of  this 
city,  v.'ho  thereby  became  his  heirs,  and  for  whom  the 
public  school  building  on  Walnut  street  has  been  called. 

Rev.  John  Ward  became  rector  in  181 3.  During 
his  ministry  he  conducted  a  large  female  school,  and  was 
useful  and  universally  esteemed.     He  died  in   i860,  at

the  age  of  eighty-two,  and  by  will  left  his  late  home  on 
Second  street  to  the  church  as  a  rectory. 

We  next  record  the  name  of  Rev.  Lemuel  Burge  as 
rector  in  September,  1819.  Succeeding  him  was  Rev. 
Geo.  T.  Chapman,  of  Massachusetts,  in  July,  1820;  rec- 
tor for  ten  ye&rs.  During  his  ministry  a  larger  brick 
church  was  built,  that  also  upon  the  present  site. 

Rev.  Benjamin  Bosworth  Smith  became  rector  in 
1830.     He  was  born  June  13,   1794,  in  Rhode   Island; 


CHRIST  CHURCH    (EPISCOPAL 


was  ordained  a  priest  in  1818,  and  was  consecrated 
bishop  in  1832.  As  the  senior  bishop  in  the  House  of 
Bishops  in  the  United  States,  Rt.  Rev.  Bishop  Smith 
presided  over  the  House  of  Bishops  at  several  recurring 
tri-annual  conventions.  This  consecrated  man  died  only 
a  few  years  ago.  During  the  ministry  of  Bishop  Smith, 
Dr.  Henry  Caswell  became  assistant  rector. 

Succeeding  him  Rev.  Edward  Winthrop,  of  Massa- 
chusetts became  temporary  rector;  but  the  regular  suc- 
cessor of  the  Rt.  Rev.  B.  B.  Smith  was  the  Rev.  Edward 
F.  Berkley,  who,  having  completed  his  theological 
studies  in  the  Episcopal  Theological  School  in  this  city, 
became  rector  in  January,  1839.      During  his  ministry,

THE   CHURCH   RECORD. 


and  on  March  17,  1847,  the  corner  stone  of  the  present 
building  was  laid,  with  imposing  religious  ceremonies. 
Rev.  Dr.  James  Craik,  of  Louisville,  made  the  address  of 
dedication. 

During  Rev.  Mr.  Berkley's  ministry,  the  Hon.  Henr>' 
Clay  was  confirmed.      He  was  baptized  at  Ashland  in 


BISHOP  SMITH. 


the  presence  of  his  family  and  a  few  friends  by  Air.  Berk- 
ley, who  also  officiated  at  his  funeral  in  1852,  also  at  his 
home  at  Lexington. 

During,  and  for  years  subsequent  to  Rev.  Mr.  Berk- 
ley's rectorship,  a  person  visiting  Christ  Church  would 
have  been  pathetically  impressed  by  the  presence  of  a 
blind  man,  Mr.  William  !)•.  Hulett,  presiding  at  the  or- 
gan. His  services  were  highly  appreciated,  and,  for  his 
faithfulness  and  general  usefulness  in  the  church,  he  was 
presented  with  a  copy  of  the  Bible  and  Prayer  Book 
printed  by  the  American  Bible  Society  for  the  blind;  at 
that  day  a  very  rare  and  valuable  gift.     It  is  a  pleasure 


CHRIST   CHURCH    (EPISCOPAL).  97 

to  remember  that  the  Bible,  in  three  very  large  volumes, 
is  still  used  by  a  similarly  afflicted  family  near  this  city; 
and  the  Prayer  Book  was  presented  by  a  devoted  mem- 
ber of  the  church,  now  called  to  her  Heavenly  rest,  to  a 
blind  person,  who  is  at  present  a  communicant  of  the 
church. 

Mr.  Berkley  resigned  the  rectorship  in  1857,  having 
been  called  to  St.  George's  Episcopal  Church  in  St.  Louis, 
where  he  still  lives  in  the  quiet  evening  of  a  long  and 
useful  life,  endeared  to  hosts  of  loving  friends. 

Rev.  James  H.  Morrison,  of  Virginia,  next  became 
rector  in  1858,  and  he  was  succeeded  in  October,  i860, 
by  Rev.  Jacob  S.  Shipman,  D.  D.,  who  was  born  at 
Niagara,  in  New  York,  November  30,  1832.  Dr.  Ship- 
man  was  a  man  of  brilliant  intellect,  a  graduate  of  Yale, 
and  in  every  way  accomplished. 

In  the  historical  address  by  Dr.  Lyman  Beecher  Todd 
on  the  semi-centennial  anniversary  of  the  Lexington  and 
Vicinity  Bible  Society,  Dr.  Todd  referred  to  Dr.  Ship- 
man  in  these  words:  "Rev.  Jacob  S.  Shipman,  rector  of 
Christ  Church,  Lexington,  Ky.,  from  1861  to  1877.  Of 
Mr.  Shipman's  usefulness  as  a  minister  of  the  gospel, 
faithfulness  as  a  pastor,  and  also  of  his  admirable  ad- 
ministrative ability,  the  venerable  Bishop  Smith,  on  visit- 
ing this  parish  and  administering  the  right  of  confirma- 
tion to  the  largest  class  ever  presented  in  the  history  of 
the  church,  remarked,  in  the  presence  of  the  writer: 
'This  duVrch,  Christ  Church,  here  at  Lexington,  is 
greatly  blessed  in  the  rector.  Dr.  Shipman  has  an  old 
head  on  young  shoulders ;  and  I  do  believe  he  is  the  only 
man  in  America  who,  when  every  Protestant  church  in 
Lexington  has  divided  during  the  war,  could  have  held 
his  church  together.'  Pure  in  spirit,  and  with  a  warm 
heart,  he  gave  comfort  to  the  afflicted;  and  with  bright 
intellect  and  genial  nature  carried  instruction  and  glad- 
ness everywhere.  He  will  ever  have  a  green  spot  in 
many,  many  loving  hearts  of  the  citizens  of  Lexington 
and  their  descendants.  He  is  now  rector  of  Christ 
Church,  New  York  City;  and  his  gifted  son,  Herbert 
Shipman,  who  was  his  father's  assistant  for  years,  has 
recently  been  appointed  chaplain  of  the  United  States 
Military  Academy  at  West  Point." 

Dr  Shipman  was  succeeded  by  Thomas  S.  Tidball 
in  the  year  1878,  and  resigned  in  1885,  and  is  at  present 
rector  of  the  Church  of  the  Epiphany  in  Philadelphia. 

Rev.  Dr.  Edward  H.  Ward  was  next  rector,  coming 
in  the  year  1885,  and  resigned  in  1897.  Dr.  Ward  is 
now  rector  of  St.  Peter's  Episcopal  Church,  Pittsburg,  Pa. 


98  THE   CHURCH   RECORD. 

During  these  many  long  and  eventful  years,  Christ 
Church  and  congregation  has  enjoyed  visitations,  ser- 
mons and  the  administration  of  the  rite  of  confirmation 
by  many  eminent  divines  and  bishops,  among  whom 
are  Rev.  Dr.  Quintard.  of  Tennessee,  and  Rev.  Dr. 
George  D.  Cummings,  long  since  called  to  his  reward. 
In  1895,  the  Diocese  of  Kentucky  was  divided  into  Lex- 
ington and  Diocese  of  Kentucky.  Soon  thereafter,  in 
the  church  convention  held  in  Christ  Church,  December 
5,  1895,  Rev.  Lewis  W.  Burton,  a  man  of  ability,  learn- 
ing and  great  consecration,  was  elected  bishop  of  the 
Lexington  Diocese  of  Kentucky,  December  5,  1895, 
and  was  consecrated  in  Louisville  January  30,  1896;  held 
his  first  confirmation  in  Christ  Church,  Alarch  15,  1896. 
He  is  now  industriously,  successfully  and  acceptably  dis- 
charging the  duties  of  his  office. 

Perhaps  the  most  important  event  in  the  history  of 
Christ  Church  may  be  considered  the  action  of  the  church 
assembled  on  Monday  evening,  March  15,  1897,  when, 
by  an  overwhelming  vote  of  the  church  and  congrega- 
tion, Christ  Church  was  tendered  to  Rt.  Rev.  Bishop 
Burton  as  the  cathedral  church  of  the  Lexington  Dio- 
cese. 

The  tender  of  the  church  is  made  upon  the  following 
terms  and  subject  to  the  following  conditions: 

1.  That  the  bishop  shall,  in  addition  to  his  preroga- 
tives and  duties  as  diocesan,  be  the  chief  pastor  and  di- 
rector of  the  parish,  with  the  right,  at  all  times  and  at  his 
pleasure,  to  use  the  church  and  other  parish  buildings, 
except  the  rectory,  for  all  diocesan  and  episcopal  pur- 
poses; to  officiate,  preach,  administer  the  sacraments  and 
conduct  such  other  rites,  ordinances  and  services  in  the 
church,  chapels  and  missions  of  the  fDarish;  to  take  part 
in  their  deliberations,  and  to  submit  to  them  from  time 
to  time  such  suggestions  and  counsel  as  he  may  see  fit. 

2.  This  being  designed  as  the  preliminary  step  to- 
ward the  establishment  of  a  cathedral  system,  which 
shall  conduce  to  greater  efficiency  in  the  missionary  work 
and  other  activities  of  the  church  in  this  diocese — the 
ultimate  form  of  which  system  is  to  be  determined  by 
future  trial  and  experience — the  bishop  shall  also,  until

The  Rt.  Rev.  Lewis  William  Burton,  D.  D.,  first

vember 9,  1852.  His  father  was  the  Rev.  Lewis  Burton, 
D.  D.,  one  of  the  best  known  of  the  clergy  of  the  Diocese 
of  Ohio,  with  which  diocese  he  was  associated  for  forty- 
seven  years,  from  1847  wntil  his  death  in  1894. 

Dr.  Burton,  Sr.,  was  for  twenty-four  years  of  this  time 
rector  of  St.  John's  Church,  and  afterward  rector  and  then 
rector  emeritus  of  St.  Mark's  Church,  Cleveland.  He 
was  also  the  founder  of  All  Saints'  Church  in  the  same

CHRIST   CHURCH    (EPISCOPAI,).  101 

Burton  in  the  rectorship  of  St.  John's  Church,  Cleveland, 
and  anotlier  inicle  on  his  mother's  side,  the  Rev.  John 
S.  Wallace,  was  the  first  rector  of  St.  Andrev/'s  Church, 
Louisville,  Ky.,  of  which  parish  the  bishop  was  rector 
at  the  time  of  his  election  to  the  episcopate. 

The  present  bishop  graduated  from  Kenyon  College 
in  1873,  being  valedictorian  and  first  honor  man  of  his 
class.  From  Kenyon,  he  took  successively  the  degrees

of  D.  D.,  the  latter  after  his  election  to  the  episcopate.

beautified  and  adorned  and  its  chapel  enlarged  and  re-

Historical   Sketch. 


During  die  early  part  of  the  year  1885  a  number  of 
laymen  of  Christ  Church  parish,  Lexington,  Ky.,  began 
the  discussion  of  organizing  a  second  parish  in  this  city. 
At  this  time  Christ  Church  was  without  a  rector.  A 
meeting  was  held  early  in  January,  a  paper  was  drawn 
up  and  addressed  to  the  Rt.  Rev.  Thomas  Underwood 
Dudley,  bishop  of  the  Diocese  of  Kentucky,  signed  by 
fifteen  male  members  who  were  communicants  of  the 
church  and  residents  of  the  city.  The  purport  of  the 
paper  was  to  obtain  from  the  bishop  his  official  consent 
to  the  organization  of  St.  John's  Parish.  The  bishop 
at  once  gave  his  consent  and  approval.  At  a  meeting 
held  soon  after  a  vestry  consisting  of  the  following  gen- 
tlemen was  elected:  Messrs.  Anderson  Berrv,  A.  J. 
Campbell,  J.  F.  Edgar,  William  Farley,  Alexander  Gib- 
bons, Ed.  K.  Graves,  F.  E.  Johns,  J.  E.  Keller.  A.  L  Tot- 
ten,  John  S.  Wilson,  Harry  Williams  and  Theodore  Wil- 
liams. A.  J.  Campbell,  Esq.,  was  elected  senior  warden, 
A.  L  Totten,  junior  warden,  and  J.  Esten  Keller,  secre- 
tary. The  vestry  elected  and  called  for  its  first  rector  the 
Rev.  Robert  Elliott  Grubb,  who  took  charge  of  the  parish 
about  the  ist  of  May,  1885.  The  first  service  was  held 
in  a  room  in  the  Carty  Building,  corner  of  Main  and  Mill 
streets,  on  the  17th  of  the  same  month,  and  was  continued 
in  the  same  building  till  the  following  January,  when  the 
services  were  discontinued  owing  to  the  financial  inabil- 
ity of  the  congregation  to  meet  the  expenses.  During 
the  rectorship  of  Rev.  Mr.  Grubb  one  marriage  was  cele- 
brated, three  persons  were  baptized  and  three  members 
were  buried.  After  a  lapse  of  two  years  and  by  consent 
of  the  bishop  in  April.  1888,  a  quorum  of  the  old  vestry 
met  and  determined  to  revive  the  services  and  start  anew 
the  work  begun.  At  this  meeting  there  were  present 
Messrs.  A.  L  Totten,  A.  J.  Campbell,  Anderson  Berry 

(108) 


ST.  JOHNS   EPISCOPAL  CHURCH.  109 

and  R.  B.  Hatchraft,  who  had  been  elected  to  the  vestry 
in  the  winter  of  1885.  They,  constituting  a  quorum,  pro- 
ceeded to  elect  others  in  the  congregation  to  fill  vacan- 
cies and  the  following  were  chosen :  Judge  Z.  Gibbons, 
Levi  T.  Rodes,  Henry  A.  Guthrie,  Henry  A.  Engman, 
George  J.  Warren,  M.  F.  Norris  and  F.  E.  Johns,  who 
was  one  of  the  old  vestry,  making  twelve  in  all.  This  meet- 
ing was  held  on  the  15th  of  June,  1888,  and  thus  began 
the  new  St.  John's. 

The  lot  upon  which  the  church  is  built  was  donated 
by  J.  Esten  Keller,  Esq.,  whose  generosity  to  the  parish 
continued  till  he  removed  from  the  city.  The  corner 
stone  was  laid  by  the  bishop  on  September  18,  1888, 
with  a  very  impressive  ceremony.  There  were  present 
besides  the  bishop  the  following  clergy:  G.  A.  Weeks, 
of  Cvnthiana;  G.  C.  Betts,  of  Louisville;  W.  H.  Bam- 
well,' of  Paris;  H.  H.  Sneed,  of  Mt.  Sterling;  W.  G.  Mc- 
Cready,  of  Versailles;  Dr.  Ward;  G.  A.  Stansberry,  of 
Christ  Church,  and  the  Rev.  Mr.  Wilson,  of  St.  Andrew's, 
this  city,  besides  a  congregation  numbering  nearly  or 
quite  1,000  persons. 

The  first  rector  of  the  new  St.  John's  was  the  Rev. 
Samuel  Johnson  French,  who  took  charge  of  the  parish 
about  November  14.  1888.  The  services  of  St.  John's  be- 
gan on  true  Catholic  lines  and  so  are  continued.  The 
Rev.  Dr.  Pelham  Williams  served  the  parish  as  rector 
for  six  months  as  "priest  in  charge"  on  the  resignation 
of  the  Rev.  Mr.  French  on  All  Saints'  Day,  1891.  On 
June  12,  1892,  Trinity  Sunday,  the  Rev.  Roger  Hanson 
Peters,  came  to  the  parish  and  served  as  priest  till  Feb- 
ruary, 1895.  During  the  months  of  February  and  March 
the  Rev.  M.  M.  Benton,  archdeacon,  conducted  the  ser- 
vices and  on  the  ist  of  April  the  Rev.  John  Sword  entered 
on  his  duties  as  priest  and  served  as  such  till  the  middle 
of  December,  1895.  During  the  incumbency  of 
this  godly  and  learned  priest  a  chapel  was  made  and  a 
side  altar  was  erected  wholly  at  the  expense  of  this  gen- 
erous hearted  man  of  God,  except  the  stone  for  the  altar, 
which  was  gratuitously  furnished  by  Wm.  Sleath,  Esq. 
The  present  rector,  the  Rev.  E.  A.  Bazett-Jones,  took 
charge  on  March  22,  the  fifth  Sunday  in  Lent.  1896.  St. 
John's  has  been  blessed  in  having  some  of  the  most  learned 
priests  in  the  church  to  serve  at  its  altars  and  but  for  the 
modest  circumstances,  financially,  of  its  members,  who 
are  imable  to  liquidate  the  debt  owing  by  the  parish, 
would  to-day  be  in  the  front  in  church  work  generally. 
Since  the  new  St.  John's  commenced  its  work  there  have 


110  THE   CHURCH   RECORD. 

been:  Baptisms,  69;  confirmed,  57;  marriages,  12;  funer- 
als, 30;  communicants,  at  present,  about  50.  The  church 
is  open  every  day  and  a  daily  celebration  of  the  Holy 
Eucharist.  Seats  are  free  and  the  poor  have  the  gospel 
preached  to  them.  The  character  of  the  services  is  shown 
by  a  paper  read  by  a  layman  to  the  vestry  at  a  meeting 
held  on  August  31,  1891. 

"I  believe  that  here  we  are  worshiping  with  forms 
and  cerenionies  which  are  those  of  the  Holy  Catholic 
Church,  which  are  in  accordance  with  the  spirit  and  letter 
of  our  Ordinal  and  without  which  the  services  at  the  cele- 
bration of  the  Holy  Eucharist  and  at  the  minor  ofifices 
are  mutilated,  incomplete  and  non-Catholic.  I  believe 
only  in  observing  such  ritual  as  is  to-day  called  Catholic, 
and  is  found  in  conformity  with  the  traditions,  usages 
and  doctrines  of  the  Holy  Catholic  Church  of  the  ages 
past  and  present." 

A  vested  boy  choir  was  introduced  on  Easter  Day, 
1890,  and  the  services  as  rendered  compared  very  favor- 
ablv  with  those  held  in  churches  in  much  larger  cities. 

The  font  sitting  in  the  body  of  the  church  near  the 
inner  door  was  presented  by  Anderson  Berry,  Esq.,  and 
others  and  is  'Tn  Loving  Memory"  of  H.  K.,  M.  T.  and 
L.  O.  Berry.  Quite  a  beautiful  and  costly  window  in 
the  front  of  the  church  bears  the  inscription,  "In  memory 
of  Jas.  A.  and  Mary  E.  Harper  and  Kate  Harper  Camp- 
bell." The  window  is  in  the  highest  style  of  decorative 
art,  and  has  a  figure  of  St.  John  the  Evangelist  with  pen 
and  eagle,  emblematical  of  this  beloved  apostle  of  our  clear 
Lord.  Another  window,  much  smaller  but  quite  a  costly 
window,  directly  over  the  altar,  contains  the  image  of 
the  crucified  Christ  upon  the  cross.  A  massive  rood 
beam,  surmounted  by  an  oaken  cross,  connects  the  two 
columns  of  the  center  arch  between  the  nave  and  choir. 

The  members  of  the  choir  consisted  of  E.  C.  Newlin, 
organist;  J.  Pointz  Nelson,  choir  master;  L.  E.  Elsworth, 
L  J.  Blackburn,  W.  H.  Sharpley,  F.  H.  Diller,  Geo.  H. 
Chase,  George  A.  Weeks,  G.  H.  Sharpley,  Richard  M. 
Nelson,  J-  E.  Keller,  Jr.,  S.  O.  Cavette,  W.  T.  French, 
Louis  M.  Schweedes,  Jno.  R.  Crawley,  John  C. 
Schweedes,  Louis  Fischer.  John  D.  Reynolds,  Francis  J. 
French,  Kerry  Compton,  Charlton  A.  Metcalfe,  Wil- 
liam G.  P.  Perkins,  Thomas  P.  Edgar,  Owen  D. 
Keller,  Walter  S.  Carr  and  G.  Drummond  Hunt. 
The  services  were  choral  throughout  and  were  very  im- 
pressive, attractive  and  inspiring.  The  officers  of  the 
parish  to-day  are  Messrs.  George  Copeland,  senior  war-

nings, Frank  Kirschner,  H.  J.  X'andermark  and  W.  S. 
Welsh.     H.  B.  Clay  was  elected  treasurer. 

St.  Agnes'  Guild  is  rendering  substantial  aid  in  parish 
work,  besides  contributing  largely  toward  its  financial 
support.  The  members  of  the  Altar  Guild,  composed  of 
the  younger  women,  are  energetic,  devotional  and  are  of 
great  service  in  the  requirements  of  their  offices.  The 
Sunday-school  has  a  fair  attendance  and  is  presided  over 
by  the'rector,  assisted  by  Mr.  J.  S.  Keller,  superintendent, 
and  Mrs.  Bazett- Jones. 


Biographical  Sketch  of  Rector. 


Father  E.  A.  Bazett-Jones,  the  present  rectoi:  of  St. 
John's  Church,  was  born  at  Fleetwood,  in  the  county  of 
Lancashire,  England,  on  June  9,  1845.  His  infancy 
was  spent  there,  and  in  early  childhood  he  was  taken  by 
his  parents  to  live  near  Preston,  his  father's  interests 
necessitating  the  change.  At  a  lovely  home  some  seven 
miles  from  the  city  his  childhood  was  spent,  receiving 
his  early  education  and  training  from  his  mother  until 
he  was  nine  years  old,  and  then  upon  her  death,  which 
happened  about  this  time,  his  father  employed  a  governess, 
who  taught  his  younger  sister  and  brother  as  well  as 
himself  until  he  was  twelve  years  old,  when  he  was  sent 
to  school.  For  three  years  he  attended  the  Preston 
Grammar  School,  a  foundation  of  King  Edward  VI,  i549- 
From  this  school  he  was  taken  and  placed  at  a  private 
school,  begun  by  a  personal  friend  of  his  father's.  The 
school  after  a  few  years  was  broken  up,  owing  to  the 
head  master  having  accepted  the  position  of  leader  of  a 
large  and  prominent  school  in  Yorkshire.  His  father, 
acting  under  the  advice  of  the  family  physician,  for  some 
time  kept  him  in  the  country,  where  his  time  was  spent 
principally  out  of  doors,  engaged  in  the  dear  old  English 
sports  and  athletics,  until  having  become  thoroughly 
strong  he  was  taken  into  his  father's  office  and  in- 
structed by  him  in  the  rudiments  of  a  business  educa- 
tion. From  there  he  was  sent  to  Liverpool,  where, 
through  the  influence  of  his  father's  friends,  he  obtained 
a  position  in  the  Bank  of  Liverpool,  remaining  there 


112

until  some  little  time  after  his  father's  death.  He  be- 
came interested  with  mutual  friends  in  an  idea  which 
took  firm  possession  of  them  to  go  abroad  and  settle. 
After  some  investigation  it  was  determined  to  go  to  the 
United  States,  and,  putting  what  capital  they  had  to- 
gether, land  was  purchased  in  the  State  of  Minnesota. 
He  remained  here  long  enough  to  discover  that  farm- 


FATHER    E    A.  BAZETT-JONES. 


ing  was  very  hard  work,  and  very  little  income  accruing 
therefrom.  Two  years'  experience  led  to  abandoning 
the  farm  and  entering  business.  After  several  years  of 
active  work,  circumstances  arose,  which,  under  guidance, 
led  him  to  study  for  orders.  He  entered  Seabury  Hall 
Divinity  School,  and  took  the  theological  course.  His 
first  work  was  serving  his  diaconate  in  Gethsemane 
Parish,  Minneapolis,  Minn.,  when  at  the  end  of  the  year 
he  was  ordained  to  the  priesthood,  sent  to  the  parishes 
of  Zumbrota  and  Pine  Island,  remained  in  charge  a  little 
over  two  years,  was  transferred  to  Iowa  and  took  charge 


ST.  JOHN'S  EPISCOPAL   CHURCH.  113 

of  Holy  Cross  Parish,  Keokuk.  In  the  third  year  of  his 
rectorate  he  organized  a  colored  work  called  the  Mis- 
sion of  St.  Mary  the  Virgin,  and  for  nearly  four  years 
ministered  to  both  white  and  colored  work.  In  the  fall 
of  1891  he  was  transferred  to  the  Diocese  of  Chicago,  and 
in  charge  of  the  parish  at  B21gin,  where  he  remained  a 
little  over  a  year,  when  the  bishop  placed  him  in  charge 
of  a  new  mission  which  had  been  organized  in  the  city 
of  Chicago.  For  two  years  the  mission  flourished  and 
then  for  some  unexplained  reason  the  bishop  killed  it. 
For  rest  he  then  took  charge  of  a  small  parish  in  the  Dio- 
cese of  Chicago.  Remaining  one  year,  he  received  and 
accepted  a  call  to  the  parish  of  St.  John,  Lexington,  Ky. 
Entering  upon  his  charge  on  Passion  Sunday,  1896,  he 
has  as  rector  led  and  directed  the  parish  until  now.

gan  county,  Wisconsin,  November  29,  1869,  and  lived 
there  till  1879,  when  his  parents  removed  to  Freelands- 
ville,  Ind. 

Mr.  Frohne  was  educated  at  Elmhurst  Seminar}-,  a 
short  distance  from  Chicago,  and  Eden  College,  at  St. 
Louis,  having  spent  four  years  at  the  seminary  and  three 
at  college.  Mr.  Frohne  is  a  member  of  the  German 
Evangelical  Synod  of  North  America.  In  1896,  he  mar- 
ried Miss  Annie  Schroeder,  of  Freelandsville,  Ind. 

The  Maryland  Avenue  Church  is  Mr.  Frohne's  first 
charge,  which  he  is  conducting  most  acceptably  to  his 
congregation.  He  is  very  energetic  and  progressive,  and 
just  such  a  pastor  as  a  struggling  new  church  needs  to 
tide  it  over  the  crisis  to  a  firm  foundation.

In  A.  D.  1 89 1,  Rev.  Otto  Kuhr,  pastor  of  the  Ger- 
man Lutheran  congregation  at  Ottenheim,  Lincohi 
county,  Ky.,  came  to  this  city  to  preach  to  the  German 
Lutherans  in  this  place.  He  gathered  a  small  congre- 
gation, which  was  organized  in  the  summer  of  the  same

year,  as  the  St.  John's  Evangelical  Lutheran  Congrega- 
tion. Rev.  Kuhr  now  served  as  the  minister  of  this  con- 
gregation. The}'  were  furnished  with  a  place  of  wor- 
ship by  the  kindness  of  the  Second  Presbyterian  Church, 

(117) 


118  THE   CHURCH   RECORD. 

and  later  of  the  Maxwell  Presbyterian  Church.  From 
April  to  Aug-ust,  1892,  they  were  permitted  to  use  the 
Chestnut  Street  Christian  Church. 

Early  in  1892,  Rev.  Kuhr  left  Lexington,  and  on 
March  4th,  Rev.  Paul  Schencke  took  his  place.  About 
this  time  a  number  of  members,  who  did  not  agree  with 
the  confessional  standpoint  of  the  congregation,  left  it. 
The  remaining  members,  then  about  ten  in  number,  at 
once  proceeded  to  build  a  church  of  their  own.  The  lot 
for  the  building,  on  the  corner  of  Fifth  and  Wolf  streets, 
was  donated  bv  the  late  Mr.  D.  F.  Wolf,  an  old  citizen  of 
Lexing^ton  and  member  of  the  congregation.  The  church 
was  dedicated  on  October  30,  1892. 

On  July  28, 1895,  Rev.  Schencke  having  taken  another 
call,  Rev.J.F. C.Schmidt, member  of  the  Evangelical  Lu- 
theran Synod  of  Missouri,  took  charge  of  the  congrega- 
tion. In  September  of  the  same  year,  the  congregation 
established  a  parochial  school,  to  provide  more  sufficient 
religious  instruction  for  their  children  than  can  be  given 
in  a  Sunday-school.  The  school  is  conducted  by  the 
pastor.  Besides  the  regular  course  of  a  grammar-school 
it  gives  instruction  in  religion  and  German.  Sunday- 
school  is  held  in  English. 

The  congregation  receives  as  its  confession  the  Augs- 
burg confession  and  the  other  Lutheran  symbols  con- 
tained in  the  Book  of  Concord. 


Biographical  Sketch  of  Pastor. 


Rev.  J.  F.  Charles  Schmidt,  pastor  of  St  John's  Evan- 
gelical Lutheran  Church,  is  a  native  of  Ohio.  Was  born 
at  Elyria,  Ohio,  in  1874.  He  attended  Concordia  Col- 
lege at  Ft.  Wayne,  Ind.,  and  finished  his  preparation 
for  the  ministry  at  Concordia  Theological  Seminary,  St. 
Louis.  He  was  a  member  of  the  Evangelical  Lutheran 
Synod  of  Missouri,  when  he  was  called  to  Lexington  to 
take  charge  of  the  little  church  erected  on  the  corner  of 
Fifth  and  Wolf  streets  by  a  faithful  few. 

Mr.  Schmidt  also  conducts  a  parochial  school  in  con- 
nection with  his  duties  as  pastor.  He  is  a  most  earnest, 
thorough  and  untiring  worker  among  his  flock,  and  is 
much  beloved  by  them.  This  is  his  first  pastorate,  which 
he  began  in  1895.  The  future  holds  great  promise  for 
this  faithful  young  pastor.

CENTENARY 
METHODIST  EPISCOPAL  CHURCH. 


Historical  Sketch, 


In  1844  the  Methodist  Episcopal  Church  in  the  United 
States  was  divided  into  two  parts — one  of  which,  the  M. 
E.  Church,  South,  occupied  the  then  slave  States  of  the 
Union.  After  the  close  of  the  civil  war,  at  the  session 
of  the  Kentucky  Conference  held  September,  1865,  reso- 
lutions were  introduced  memorializing  the  General  Con- 
ference, in  view  of  the  fact  that  slavery  had  been  abol- 
ished, to  take  steps  looking  to  organic  re-union  of  the 
two  Methodisms.  This  was  voted  down  by  a  large  ma- 
jority. As  a  result  of  this  action  eighteen  members  of 
the  conference  (believing  that  they  would  be  sustained 
by  a  large  portion  of  the  Methodists  in  the  State)  deter- 
mined to  witlidraw  from  the  Church  South,  and  cast  their 
lot  once  more  with  the  old  church. 

Something  over  one  hundred  members  withdrew  from 
the  Hill  Street  M.  E.  Church,  South,  and,  on  the  3d  day  of 
January,  1866,  in  a  private  residence  in  this  city,  that  of 
Hiram  Shaw,  Esq.,  were  organized  and  tendered  to  Bishop 
D.  W.  Clark,  who  was  to  preside  at  the  Kentucky  Con- 
ference of  the  Methodist  Episcopal  Church  in  Covington, 
Ky.,  March,  1866,  with  the  request  that  a  pastor  be  sent 
them  by  the  bishop. 

At  this  March  conference  the  "eighteen"  joined  the 
]\I.  E.  Church  and  one  of  their  number,  Rev.  Duke 
Slavens,  a  relative  of  Bishop  Kavanaugh,  was  appointed 
to  Lexington.  A  lot  was  purchased  on  the  corner  of 
Broadway  and  Church  street,  and  by  October  following 
the  chapel  at  the  rear  of  the  present  church  building 
had  been  erected  and  was  dedicated  to  the  service  of 
God  by  Dr.  (afterward  Bishop)  Isaac  W.  Wiley.  At  the 
next  session  of  the  conference  Rev.  John  R.  Eads,  "an- 
other of  the  eighteen,"  was    appointed    pastor.     He  re-

mained  only  one  year  and  was  succeeded  by  still  another 
of  the  "eighteen,"  Dr.  Daniel  Stevenson,  who  remained 
as  pastor  for  three  years.  Dr.  Stevenson  was  aggressive 
and  when  he  departed  in  March,  1871,  he  and  the  con- 
gregation had  mutual  satisfaction  in  realizing  that  the 
present  church  building  had  been  erected  and  paid  for 
during  his  administration.  Up  to  this  time  all  the  pas- 
tors had  been  native  Kentuckians.  Now  a  new  depart- 
ure was  determined  upon.     A  transfer  from  Rock  River

Conference,  George  E.  Strobridge,  was  made  pastor,  and 
during  his  administration  of  three  years  the  membership 
was  nearly  doubled,  and  all  the  work  of  the  church  pushed 
forward  with  great  success. 

T.  M.  Leslie,  a  former  member  of  the  West  .Virginia 
Conference,  served  the  church  for  one  year,  and  then 
went  to  Ohio.  Jas.  E.  Gilbert,  from  the  Cincinnati  Con- 
ference, next  served  for  three  years  and  was  succeeded 
by  J.  L.  Sooy,  of  New  Jersey,  who  served  the  church  for 
two  and  a  half  years.  Again  a  member  of  Rock  River 
Conference,  in  the  person  of  Adam  J.  Jutkins,  was  ap- 
pointed and  served  for  two  years.     Now  the  church  re- 


122  THE   CHURCH   RECORD. 

turned  to  the  Kentucky  Conference  and  Rev.  Wm.  Mc- 
Afee served  the  church  for  three  years.  He  was  suc- 
ceeded by  Ira  T.  Walker,  from  Wyoming  Conference, 
who  held  the  place  for  three  years.  F.  D.  T.  Bickley,  of 
Western  New  York,  served  the  church  for  one  year,  and 
was  followed  by  Henry  Tuckley,  whose  health  failed  in 
the  middle  of  his  third  year,  and  who  was  on  this  account 
released  from  the  pastorate.  J.  B.  Smith,  of  Hull,  Mass., 
was  transferred  to  fill  Dr.  Tuckley's  vacancy  in  the  middle 
of  the  year.  He  remained  one  year  and  a  half  and  was 
transferred  to  another  field.  He  was  followed  by  Dr. 
A.  D.  Knapp,  of  North  Ohio,  for  three  years. 

This  bring-s  us  to  September,  1896,  at  which  time  the 
present  incumbent,  B.  R.  Wilburn,  was  transferred  from 
Johnstown,  Pa.,  and  appointed  to  Lexington.  Dr.  Wil- 
burn has  been  warmly  welcomed  and  has  already  begun 
an  excellent  work. 


Biographical  Sketch  of  Pastor. 


Dr.  Wilburn  is  a  native  of  Southwest  Virginia.  His 
people  have  been  prominently  identified  with  the  civil 
and  religious  history  of  that  State  from  the  time  of  its 
early  settlement.  His  paternal  ancestors  were  among 
the  sturdy  Welsh  pioneers  of  the  Southwest.  His  mater- 
nal ancestors  were  French  Huguenots,  two  of  whom 
served  as  commissioned  of^cers  in  the  Revolution,  and 
the  War  of  1812. 

In  early  youth  Dr.  Wilburn  applied  himself  to  the 
study  of  law,  but  after  graduating,  at  the  age  of  nineteen, 
he  abandoned  the  idea  of  following  the  practice  of  law, 
and  began  to  prepare  himself  for  the  work  of  the  Chris- 
tian ministry.  Shortly  after  entering  the  ministry  he  be- 
came pastor  of  a  congregation  in  Baltimore,  Md.  Dur- 
ing his  seven  years'  pastorate  in  that  city  he  completed, 
under  tutors,  a  course  of  scientific  and  philosophical 
study.  At  the  close  of  his  Baltimore  pastorate,  he  served 
as  pastor  of  a  small  church  m  Cincinnati,  Ohio,  for  one 
year,  from  which  place  he  was  transferred  to  the  Walton 
Church,  Pittsburg,  Pa.  His  next  pastoral  charge  was 
First  Church,  Greensburg,  Pa.  From  Greensburg  he 
went  to  the  Franklin  Street  Church,  Johnstown,  Pa. 
After  a  residence  of  two  years  in  Johnstown,  he  was

selected  by  the  bishop,  having  charge  for  a  pastoral  term 
at  Centenary,  and  was  accordingly  transferred  to  this 
city.  He  is  among  the  latest  accessions  to  the  minis- 
terial corps  of  the  city,  his  work  here  having  begun  last 
October. 

Dr.  Wilburn  is  a  man  of  broad  scholarship  and  deep 
research,  a  careful  and  pleasing  historian,  and  an  elo- 


DR.  WILBURN. 


quent  and  effective  preacher.  His  degree  of  "Doctor  of 
Philosophy"  was  earned  by  the  completion  of  the  pre- 
scribed university  course  of  study.  In  his  work  he  may 
be  said  to  be  both  aggressive  and  conservative.  He  pos- 
sesses the  faculty  of  endearing  himself  not  only  to  his  own 
congregation,  but  to  all  the  people  of  the  community  in 
which  he  resides.  As  an  organizer  he  is  possessed  of 
more  than  ordinary  talent,  and  knows  how  to  use  all  the 
working  force  of  his  congregation  to  the  best  advantage. 
His  sympathies  being  largely  with  young  men  in  their 


124  THE   CHURCH   RECORD. 

efforts  to  attain  position,  he  finds  no  great  difficulty  in 
securing  their  sympathy  in  return.  The  matter  of  his 
sermons  is  helpful,  and  thoughtful,  while  his  manner  of 
delivery  is  deliberate,  earnest  and  direct.  He  speaks 
without  the  aid  of  manuscript,  and  spends  no  time  on 
preliminary  discussion,  but  after  announcing  his  text  en- 
ters at  once  into  the  spirit  of  his  subject.  He  is  an  en- 
thusiastic student  of  the  peoples  and  literature  of  the 
Orient,  and  is  regarded  as  an  accomplished  Biblical  and 
Oriental  archaeologist.  He  is  an  enthusiastic  member 
of  several  learned  societies  of  Orientalists,  among  which 
is  the  "Society  of  Archaeology  and  Palaeontology  of  the 
University  of  Pennsylvania."  This  latter  is  a  society  of 
learned  Orientalists  engaged  in  collecting  and  decipher- 
ing the  prehistoric  annals  of  ancient  Chaldaea. 

The  Doctor  has  been  warmly  received  by  the  good 
people  of  Centenary,  and  it  is  believed  his  pastorate  in 
this  church  will  be  satisfactory  to  himself  and  the  people 
he  serves.

Three  of  the  original  members  have  remembered  the 
church  by  bequests  in  their  wills.  Hiram  Shaw,  who 
died  in  1873,  left  five  hundred  dollars,  the  interest  on  same 
to  be  used  for  keeping  up  the  Sunday-school  library. 
Mrs.  Keturah  ]Milward,  a  few  years  later,  bequeathed  one 
hundred  and  fifty  dollars  for  the  worn  out  preachers  of 
the  Kentucky  Conference,  and  last  year  the  venerable 
P.  Sco'tt  devised  five  thousand  dollars  for  the  benefit  of 
the  church,  the  interest  only  on  this  sum  to  be  used  for 
ten  years,  at  the  expiration  of  this  time  the  entire  sum 
is  to  be  handed  over  to  the  treasurer.

Historical  Sketch. 

By  Rev.  H.  P.  Walker. 

The  first  Methodist  itinerant  missionaries  sent  to 
Kentucky  were  James  Haw  and  Benjamin  Ogden.  This 
was  in  the  year  1786.  The  appointment  in  the  minutes 
of  that  year  reads,  "Kentucky,"  the  first  circuit  formed 
in  this  vast  territory.  These  two  missionaries,  however, 
had  been  preceded  by  several  local  preachers  of  more 
than  ordinary  ability,  who  had  organized  societies  in 
different  settlements.  Francis  Clark,  local  preacher, 
with  John  Durham,  class  leader,  settled  about  six  miles 
west  of  Danville,  and  formed  a  society,  in  the  year  1783. 
About  the  same  time,  Nathaniel  Harris  and  Phillip  Tay- 
lor, of  Virginia,  and  Gabriel  and  Daniel  Woodfield,  of 
Redsandstone,  came  and  settled,  the  first  two  in  Jessa- 
mine, the  latter  in  Fayette.  These  men  preached  to  the 
pioneer  settlers  and  formed  several  small  societies. 
When  the  Kentuck}-  circuit  was  formed,  1786,  and  Haw 
and  Ogden  were  sent  to  it,  they  found  a  few  feeble  Meth- 
odist societies  already  existing;  just  ninety  members  in 
all.  One  of  these  societies  was  at  Masterson's  Station, 
four  or  five  miles  from  the  town  of  Lexington,  where  a 
log  church  was  built  in  1787,  presumably  the  first  Meth- 
odist church  structure  in  Kentucky. 

Although  a  permanent  settlement  was  formed  at 
Lexington  as  early  as  1779,  under  Col.  John  Patterson 
and  twenty-five  associates,  no  Methodist  society  was 
formed  here  for  nearly  ten.  years,  in  1789,  although  the 
pioneer  Alethodist  preachers  several  times  made  a  pass- 
ing call.  Conditions  seem  to  have  been  unfavorable. 
A  few  lay  Methodists,  very  poor,  but  good,  honest  peo- 
ple, kept  the  holy  fire  alive  in  their  hearts  by  holding  re- 
ligious worship,  such  as  prayer  and  class  meetings  in  pri-

vate  homes,  but  no  regular,  organized  society  was 
formed  until  about  1789.  Very  little  mention  is  made 
of  Lexington  for  a  number  of  years.  In  1790,  the  first 
Methodist  Conference  was  held  at  Masterson's  Station, 
Bishop  Asbury  presiding,  but  he  did  not  stop  or  preach 
in  Lexington.  The  first  mention  of  Bishop  Asbury 
stopping  in  Lexington  is  in  his  journal  of  1805,  and  then 
he  makes  no  mention  of  preaching.  From  these  facts 
we  infer  that  the  society  as  vet  was  small,  and  it  was 


HILL-STREET   -METHODIST    EPISCOPAL   CHURCH,  SOUTH. 


probably  not  prepared  to  entertain  even  a  plain  preacher 
like  Asbury;  besides,  there  was  no  suitable  house  pro- 
vided for  preaching.  We  are  informed,  notwithstanding, 
that,  in  1803,  Lexington  asked  to  be  separated  from  the 
Lexington  circuit  and  made  a  station;  that  the  request 
was  granted,  and  Rev.  Thomas  Wilkerson  was  ap- 
pointed in  charge,  yet  the  regular  minutes  do  not  agree 
to  this  view.  Wilkerson  was  appointed  to  Lexington 
circuit  in  1796.  For  1803  the  minutes  read,  Samuel 
Danthet.  The  society  in  Lexington  had  a  hard  struggle. 
Redford  (Hist.  Aleth.'in  Ky.)  says:  "In  1819  the  church 
was  verv  small    and    feeble,    and    worshiped    in    an    ill- 


HILIv-STREET   M,    E.    CHURCH,    SOUTH.  147 

shaped,  dilapidated  buildinfT^  far  out  in  the  east  end,  Hkely 
at  the  corner  of  Dewees  and  Short  streets,  where  the  col- 
ored Baptist  church  now  stands.  It  was  not  till  1820 
that  this  church  received  any  special  impulse  toward  a 
healthy  growth.  A  revival  sprung  up,  as  a  result  of  the 
great  revival  at  Ebenezer,  in  Clark  county,  brought  into 
Lexington  by  those  who  attended  that  wonderful  meet- 
ing, mostly  members  of  the  church  in  Lexington,  who 
caught  the  holy  fire  and  spread  it  throughout  the  city. 
Up  to  that  time,  we  are  told,  there  was  not  a  young  per- 
son in  the  society.  The  revival  continued  through  1820 
and  1 82 1,  during  wdiich  time  a  great  many  persons,  young 
and  old,  were  converted  and  brought  into  the  church. 

Many  strong  men  contributed  by  their  zealous  and 
self-sacrificing  spirit  and  efftcient  labors  to  the  early 
establisliment  of  Methodism  in  Lexington  and  through- 
out the  region  of  Kentucky;  such  as  Paythress,  Haw, 
McHenry,  Lee,  Massie,  O'Cull,  Page,  Allen,  Brooks, 
Northcutt,  Ray,  Burke,  Cook,  Gibson,  Baird,  etc.,  but 
the  chief  among  them  all  was  the  invincible  Francis  Pay- 
thress. Later,  such  men  as  Jonathan  Stamper,  William 
Gunn,  George  C.  Light,  VVm.  Stribbling,  H.  H.  Kavan- 
augh,  George  W.  Brush,  T.  N.  Ralston,  Edward  Steven- 
son, John  H.  Linn,  Edward  Sehon.  L.  D.  Huston,  Peter 
Akers,  John  Newland  MafTett,  H.  B.  Bascom,  Benj. 
Crouch  and  more  than  a  score  of  other  names,  justly  dis- 
tinguished as  among  the  greatest  pulpit  orators  and  di- 
vines of  modern  times.  Lexington  enjoyed  the  ministry 
of  all  these  men  from  time  to  time,  either  as  regular 
pastors  or  frequent  visitors. 

The  Hill  Street  M.  E.  Church  (since  1845,  M.  E. 
Church,  South),  has  had  its  troubles,  perhaps,  more  than 
most  other  churches.  In  1810  it  was  a  station,  and  Dr. 
Caleb  W.  Cloud  the  pastor.  In  181 1  it  seems  to  have 
been  again  placed  in  the  Lexington  circuit  with  three 
preachers,  viz.,  C.  Holding,  E.  Truett  and  Caleb  W. 
Cloud.  Dr.  Cloud  was  a  man  of  pietv  and  ability,  but 
ambitious  and  eccentric.  These  qualities  brought  him 
into  antagonism  with  a  large  portion  of  the  member- 
ship and  resulted  in  his  withdrawal,  tog-ether  with  a  num- 
ber of  members,  over  whom  he  w-ielded  great  personal 
influence.  This  secession  occurred  in  the  year  1812, 
After  preachino-  for  some  time  at  his  own  house,  he  suc- 
ceeded in  building  St.  John's  Chapel,  where  he  offici- 
ated gratuitouslv  as  pastor  for  quite  a  number  of  vears. 
He  finally  came  back  to  the  Methodist  church,  and  died 
within  her  bosom  May  14,  1850. 


148  THE   CHURCH    RECORD. 

The  feeble  and  unprosperous  state  of  the  church  from 
1811  to  1819,  when  the  revival  broke  out,  was  doubtless 
largely  due  to  the  disturbances  created  by  the  event  just 
mentioned. 

The  revival  of  1820  and  1821  enabled  the  church  to 
abandon  its  former  ill-favored  quarters  and  erect  a  new, 
plain,  but  comfortable  and  commodious  brick  church, 
50x60  feet,  with  a  large  gallery  for  overflow  congrega- 
tions, and  for  the  people  of  color  in  her  communion. 

From  this  time,  under  the  pastoral  care  of  such  men 
as  Ed.  Stevenson,  Richard  Tydings,  William  Holman, 
H.  H.  Kavanaugh,  George  C.  Light,  Spencer  Cooper 
and  Peter  Cartwright,  the  church  continued  to  prosper. 

The  present  church  building  was  erected  in  1841,  and 
dedicated  by  Doctor,  afterward  Bishop,  H.  B.  Bascom, 
one  of  the  most  wonderful  of  all  the  great  galaxy  of 
American  pulpit  orators. 

The  division  of  the  church  in  the  United  States  of 
America  in  1845,  provided  for  by  the  General  Confer- 
ence of  the  whole  church  in  1844,  afifected,  to  some  ex- 
tent, the  growth  and  prosperity  of  Hill  Street  Church  for 
a  number  of  years,  as,  indeed,  it  did  for  the  entire  body 
of  the  church  in  the  state.  Hill  Street  Church  very 
promptly  connected  her  fortunes  with  the  Southern  wing 
of  this  great  body  of  Christians,  and  so  has  remained  to 
this  day. 

A  second  secession  occurred  in  1856.  A  difificulty 
sprung  up  about  the  powers  of  the  officers  in  the  removal 
of  the  pastor,  Rev.  Samuel  Adams.  It  was  followed  by 
the  withdrawal  of  Mr.  Adams  and  some  fifty-seven  mem- 
bers from  the  communion  of  the  M.  E.  Church,  South, 
and  the  organization  of  an  Independent  INIethodist 
Church,  w^ith  Mr.  Adams  as  pastor.  The  congregation 
bought  the  old  Medical  Hall  lot,  and  built  on  it  a  very 
neat,  plain,  brick  church.  Under  the  leadership  of  Revs. 
Samuel  Adams  and  Nicholas  Headington  it  continued 
to  grow,  until  they  returned,  a  few  years  after,  to  the 
communion  of  the  church  they  had  left,  with  over  two 
hundred  members.  They  conveyed  the  property  by 
deed  to  trustees  for  the  use  and  benefit  of  the  M.  E. 
Church,  South,  which  continued  to  use  it  as  a  second 
church,  most  of  the  time,  until  1866,  when  it  was  sold 
for  a  city  library,  and  the  remnant  of  members  transferred 
to  Hill  Street  Church. 

During  the  great  Civil  War,  from  i860  to  1865,  this 
church  had  a  great  struggle  for  existence.  Two  sorts  of 
people  were  within  her  pale,  the  Northern  and  Southern,

149 


and  their  opposite  sympathies  and  prejudices  kept  the 
church  in  a  state  of  turmoil  and  confusion.  The  Union- 
ists, however,  held  sway  over  the  church  in  such  way  as 
to  cause  many  Southern  sympathizers  to  go  into  the  fel- 
lowship of  other  churches.  Quite  a  number,  from  time 
to  time,  made  their  way  into  the  Presbyterian  and  Epis- 
copal churches,  in  order  to  avoid  discord  and  enjoy  a 
season  of  peace.  A  church  convulsed  by  the  violent  prej- 
udices and  passions,  springing  up  on  both  sides  during  a 


REV.  H.   P.  WALKER. 


desperate  civil  strife  like  ours,  could  not  possibly  experi- 
ence much  numerical  increase.  Up  to  this  period,  and 
for  years  before,  Hill  Street  Church  continued  to  be 
served  by  men  of  marked  ability,  such  as  Wm.  C.  Dandy, 
John  C.  Harrison,  John  G.  Bruce  as  P.  E.,  R.  Hiner, 
E.  P.  Buckner,  etc. 

After  the  close  of  the  Civil  War,  at  the  session  of  Con- 
ference held  in  Covington,  September,  1865,  eighteen 
members  of  the   Kentuckv  Annual   Conference  of  the 


150  THE   CHURCH  RECORD- 

M.  E.  Church,  South,  located  and  soon  after  went  into 
the  communion  of  the  M.  E.  Church.  The  occasion  of 
this  course  on  their  part  was  the  decisive  action  of  the 
Conference,  by  a  large  majority,  defeating  their  well 
concerted  plan  for  committing  "the  Kentucky  Confer- 
ence, as  well  as  the  General  Conference,  to  seek  a  union 
with  the  M.  E.  Church.  This  plan  was  outlined  in  the 
majority  report  of  the  committee  on  the  state  of  the 
church.  The  minority  report  prepared  by  Rev.  H.  P. 
Walker,  proposed  to  relegate  the  whole  question  of  or- 
ganic union  to  the  action  of  the  two  great  co-ordinate 
bodies  of  Methodism,  etc.  This  report,  after  a  full 
and  free  discussion  in  open  conference,  was  adopted  by 
a  large  majority,  whereupon  the  "loyal  eighteen,"  as 
they  have  been  styled,  proceeded,  the  day  following,  to  lo- 
cate, but  not  until  after  the  four  delegates  to  the  General 
Conference,  which  had  been  called  to  meet  in  New  Or- 
leans the  following  May,  had  been  chosen  of  men  who 
stood  firmly  on  the  minority  report. 

Following  the  lead  of  these  brethren,  in  the  latter 
part  of  December,  1865,  about  one  hundred  members 
withdrew  from  Hill  Street  M.  E.  Church,  South,  and 
soon  after,  March,  1866,  joined  the  M.  E.  Church  in  the 
city  of  Covington,  during  the  session  of  Conference.  At 
this  Conference  the  eighteen  were  received  as  members, 
and  Rev.  Duke  Slavens.  a  gifted  young  preacher  of 
their  number,  was  appointed  to  serve  the  newly  organ- 
ized church  in  Lexington.  This  was  the  third  seces- 
sion from  the  ranks  of  Hill  Street  Church.  At  this  time 
Rev.  H.  P.  Walker  was  in  charge  of  Hill  Street  Church. 
He  proceeded  to  consolidate  the  remaining  member- 
ship, comparatively  few  in  number,  and  mostly  of  small 
means,  and  succeeded,  by  the  close  of  the  year,  in  pay- 
ing off  a  large  debt  upon  the  church  for  repairs,  and  leav- 
ing a  balance  in  the  treasur}-.  During  the  year  he  held 
a  protracted  meeting,  at  which  a  large  number  were  con- 
verted and  added  to  the  church,  and  once  more  the  tide 
of  prosperity  set  in.  At  the  close  of  this  Conference 
year  he  was  placed  on  the  Lexington  district,  and  was 
followed  in  the  station  by  Rev.  B.  M.  Messick.  The 
church  continued  to  prosper  under  the  labors  of  R.  K. 
Hargrove  (about  nine  months),  S.  X.  Hall,  H.  A.  M. 
Henderson,  J.  Rand,  C.  W.  Miller,  H.  P.  Walker  again, 
Rev.  W.  F.  Noland  (under  whom  the  old  building  was 
remodeled  into  its  present  beautiful  inside  finish),  John 
R.  Deering  and  E.  L.  Southgate.  All  these  brethren 
have  done  good  work.     During  the  pastorate  of  E.  L. 


HILL-STREET   M.   E.   CHURCH,    SOUTH.  151 

Southgate  there  was  quite  an  extensive  revival,  and  it 
was  during  his  pastorate  that  a  fresh  impetus  was  given  to 
the  pet  scheme  of  Dr.  Walker,  for  many  years,  to  have 
a  second  charge  in  Lexington.  After  much  effort  the 
design  ripened  into  Epworth  Church,  but  not  until  Dr. 
Walker  had  taken  the  responsibility  for  three  years  of 
having  a  Mission  preacher  appointed  for  Lexington, 
and  the  work  kept,  for  two  years,  under  the  jurisdiction 
of  the  Quarterly  Conference  of  Hill  Street.  Ep- 
worth now  gives  fine  promise  of  solid  growth.  Rev.  E. 
L.  Southgate  was  followed  in  Hill  Street  by  Dr.  W. 
T,  Boiling,  and  he  by  Dr.  C.  H.  Evans,  transferred  in 
the  midst  of  the  present  Conference  year  to  supply 
the  place  of  Dr.  Boiling,  who  was  transferred  to  Colum- 
bus, Miss. 

The  church  is  furnished  with  handsome  pews,  a  beau- 
tiful carpet  and  a  fine  pipe  organ.  The  congregation 
has  provided,  for  the  comfort  of  its  pastors,  a  substan- 
tial and  commodious  brick  parsonage  on  Upper  street, 
and  furnished  it  throughout  with  everything  requisite 
for  housekeeping.  Hill  Street  paid  her  pastor,  in  1885, 
$1,800,  and  I  suppose  the  same  for  1886.  I  have  not 
the  minutes  before  me.  She  paid  about  $400  to  the 
benevolent  collections,  and  $1,874.50  to  other  purposes. 
She  reported  a  membership  of  494.  The  value  of  the 
church  building  is  reported  at  $20,000,  and  its  parson- 
age at  $5,000.  Thus  it  will  be  seen  that  after  all  her 
troubles  she  is  yet  moving  on  lines  of  fair  prosperity. 
Hill  Street  has  been  kept  up  to  a  great  extent  by  sev- 
eral very  marked  revivals,  viz.:  1820,  under  Dr.  Ed. 
Stevenson;  1830.  under  Bishop  Kavanaugh;  somewhere 
in  the  forties,  by  Dr.  Maffett,  a  great  worker;  two  under 
the  labors  of  Dr.  Walker — one  in  1866,  the  other  in 
1878  or  1879 — i"  which  more  than  two  hundred  pro- 
fessed conversion,  and  about  one  hundred  and  sixty 
united  with  the  church.  The  meeting  continued  for 
eight  weeks,  and  imparted  wonderful  vitality  to  the 
church.  Another,  as  already  mentioned,  under  the  pas- 
torate of  E.  L.  Southgate.  There  were  also  others,  not 
so  large,  yet  of  great  value,  but  we  have  not  the  data 
before  us.  May  the  bow  of  this  historic  church  con- 
tinue to  abide  in  strength,  and  streams  of  salvation  pro- 
ceed from  her  altar  to  bless  and  save  the  fallen  race  of 
Adam.

riRST  PRESBYTERIAN  CHURCH. 


Historical  Sketch. 


The  First  Presbyterian  Church  was  estabHshed  in 
Lexington  in  1784.  They  erected  a  log  house  of  wor- 
ship on  the  S.  E.  corner  of  Wahiut  and  Short  streets,  and 
called  to  the  pastorate  Rev.  Adam  Rankin,  of  Augusta 
county,  Virginia.  The  church  was  first  known  as  Mount 
Zion.  During  Mr.  Rankin's  administration  the  con- 
gregation was  divided  over  some  doctrine  disputes.  In 
1792,  Mr.  Rankin  withdrew  from  the  presbytery,  and, 
with  iiis  followers,  formed  the  Associate  Reform  Church, 
over  which  he  presided  for  twenty-five  years.  The  part 
of  the  congregation  who  were  approved  to  Mr.  Ran- 
kin's views  took  the  new  meeting  house,  an  unfinished 
frame  building  commenced  before  the  church  trouble 
culminated,  which  was  situated  on  the  corner  of  Mill 
and  Short  streets,  and  called  Rev.  James  Welsh,  of  Vir- 
ginia, to  fill  the  pulpit,  which  he  did  most  acceptably 
until  1804,  after  which  it  was  filled  temporarily  by  Dr. 
James  Blythe,  the  president  of  Transylvania  University. 
*Rev.  Robt.  Stone  and  the  faithful  John  Lyle  served  at 
different  times,  until  the  installation  of  the  second  reg- 
ular pastor.  Rev.  Robt.  M.  Cunningham,  of  Pennsyl- 
vania, in  1807,  who  served  from  1807  to  1822.  He  was 
succeeded  by  Rev.  \Vm.  McCalla,  who  was  followed  by 
Rev.  John  Poage  Campbell,  D.  D.  Then  came  Rev. 
Nathan  Hall's  long  and  prosperous  reign,  from  1823  to 
1846. 

Rev.  Robt.  J.  Breckenridge.  the  most  talented  min- 
ister in  Kentucky,  followed  Mr.  Hall  and  continued  the 
pastorate  until  1853,  when  he  removed  to  Danville  as 
professor  in  the  Theological  Seminary.  His  successor 
was  Rev.  J.  D.  Mathews,  whose  ministry  was  so  accept- 
able that  he  was  retained  many  years — from  1847  to  1870. 
In  1870,  Rev.  Wm.  Dinwiddie,  of  Virginia,  was 
chosen  pastor,  and  remained  until  1874,  when  the  present 

(166) 


FIRST   PRESBYTERIAN   CHURCH.  167 

pastor,  Rev.  W.  F.  V.  Bartlett,  beg-an  his  ministerial 
labors. 

In  1892,  the  first  church  dismissed  seventy-seven  of 
its  members  to  form  the  Maxwell  Street  Church,  and 
this  offspring-  has  grown  into  a  self-supporting  church 
of  two  hundred  and  fifty  members. 

It  is  also,  in  addition  to  its  own  Sunday-school,  carry- 
ing on  a  flourishing  mission  school  in  the  northwestern 
part  of  our  city,  and  its  members  are  engaged  in  Sunday- 
school  work  in  the  country. 

The  ladies'  societies  are  supporting  a  missionary  in 
China,  and  are  about  to  start  a  kindergarten  in  one  of 
our  mountain  towns,  and  are  active  in  helping-  the  poor 
and  sick  of  the  city.  The  church  has  under  considera- 
tion, and  will  soon  carry  into  execution,  a  project  for 
the  enlargement  and  complete  transformation  of  its 
house  of  worship  and  the  parsonage.  It  is  expected 
that  the  lecture-room  and  Sunday-school  room  will  be 
entirely  separated  from  the  main  building,  and  will  be 
provided  with  the  most  ample  accommodations. 

No  single  church  organization  in  Kentucky,  per- 
haps, has  exerted  so  great  an  influence  for  good  as  this 
church  for  more  than  a  hundred  years. 


Biographical  Sketch  of  Pastor. 


Rev.  W.  F.  V.  Bartlett,  pastor  of  the  First  Presby- 
terian Church,  was  born  in  Portland,  Me.  At  the  age  of 
ten  years  he  began  clerking  in  a  store  in  Portland,  and 
four  years  later  went  to  Boston,  and  continued  in  the 
same  business  for  three  years,  when  he  left  Boston  and 
entered  the  freshman  class  of  Yale  College,  from  which 
he  graduated  in  1853,  after  which  he  went  south  and 
taught  school  in  Natchez,  Miss.,  for  several  years,  and 
then  went  to  New  York  and  spent  three  years  at  the 
Union  Theological  Seminary  there,  and  returned  to 
Natchez  and  became  president  of  Washington  College. 
On  his  return  south,  he  was  married  to  Miss  Mar}^  Moore, 
of  Natchez,  who  is  connected  with  the  Moore  family  of 
Danville,  Ky.  The  Civil  War  coming  on  about  this  time 
caused  Dr.  Bartlett  no  little  struggle  to  decide  whether 
to  cast  his  lot  with  the  people  among  whom  he  had  so 
recently  come,  or  to  return  to  his  native  home  and  share 
their  fate.     Plis  sole  object  was  to  do  good,  and  finally  de-

cided  to  minister  to  the  spiritual  wants  of  the  First  Ala- 
bama regiment  at  Port  Hudson.  At  the  close  of  the  war, 
his  health  having  failed,  he  traveled  in  Europe  for  two

years,  and  on  his  return  took  the  chair  of  Latin  in  Oak- 
land College,  in  Mississippi. 

In  1874,  he  accepted  a  call  to  the  First  Presbyterian 
Church  in  Lexington,  Ky.,  his  first  and  only  pastorate, 
which  he  still  retains,  notwithstanding  the  fact  that  he 
has  received  many  calls  from  large  churches  in  many 
cities.  The  University  of  Richmond,  Ky..  conferred  the 
degree  of  D.  D.  on  Dr.  Bartlett  several  years  ago.

MAXWELL-STPEET 
PRESBYTERIAN  CHUPCH. 


Historical  Sketcli. 

By  Kev.  I.  S.  McElroy,  D.  D. 

The  Maxwell  Street  Presbyterian  Church,  on  the 
corner  of  Maxwell  and  Lawrence  streets,  and  between 
South  Upper  and  Limestone  streets,  was  organized  May 
8,  1892,  by  a  commission  of  the  Presbyterv'  of  West  Lex- 
ington. It  is  a  vigorous  offspring  of  the  First  Presby- 
terian Church  of  this  city  and  came  into  existence  after 
this  manner: 

December  3,  1888,  the  session  of  the  First  Church  ap- 
pointed a  committee,  consisting  of  Messrs.  James  A. 
Headley,  John  Pew  and  E.  S.  DeLong,  to  take  under 
consideration  the  propriety  and  the  feasibility  of  establish- 
ing a  mission  in  some  promising  part  of  the  city.  The  en- 
terprise met  with  such  a  hearty  approval  that  the  com- 
mittee, to  which  Elder  R.  S.  Bullock  had  been  added, 
abandoned  the  idea  of  a  mission,  and  in  touch  with  the 
views  of  the  congregation,  determined  to  build  a  house 
that  would  answer  at  once  for  a  church. 

March  3,  1890,  they  purchased  a  lot  on  Maxwell 
street,  which  had  on  it  a  two-story  brick  residence,  facing 
Upper  street,  and  the  same  which  the  new  church  pur- 
chased from  the  first  church  in  February,  1897,  and  is 
now  known  as  the  Maxwell  Street  Manse. 

On  that  part  of  the  lot  fronting  ]\Iaxwell  street  they 
erected  a  handsome  brick  church,  trimmed  in  stone, 
lighted  by  gas,  heated  by  a  furnace  and  furnished  with 
modern  pews,  capable  of  seating  comfortably  four  hun- 
dred worshipers. 

On  the  17th  day  of  August,  1891,  this  house  of  wor- 
ship was  completed,  free  from  debt,  and  dedicated  to  the 
service  of  the  Lord  by  Rev.  W.  F.  V.  Bartlett,  the  be- 
loved pastor  of  the  First  Church. 

Rev.  C.  T.  Thomson,  who  had  been  called  bv  the 
session  of  the  First  Church  to  labor  in  this  part  of  their

MAXWEH-STREET   PRESBYTERIAN   CHURCH.

field  as  an  assistant  to  their  pastor,  began  his  ministry 
in  the  new  house  of  worship  November  lo,  1891,  and  so 
great  was  his  success  that  a  petition,  approved  by  the 
session  of  the  First  Churcli.  was  presented  to  the  Presby- 
tery, April  6,  1892,  asking  for  a  separate  church  organiza- 
tion. This  request  was  granted,  and  a  commission,  con- 
sisting of  Rev.  G.  H.  Rout,  D.  D.,  Rev.  W.  F.  V.  Bartlett, 


MAXWELL-STREET   PRESBYTERIAN   CHURCH. 


D.  D.,  Rev.  C.  T.  Thomson  and  Elders  D.  B.  Price  and 
James  A.  Headley,  was  appointed  to  organize  the  Max- 
well Street  Presbyterian  Church,  May  8,  1892. 

The  organization  was  effected  with  seventy-seven 
members,  of  whom  thirty-three  were  a  colony  from  the 
First  Church  and  forty-four  had  been  received  by  Rev. 
C.  T.  Thomson  in  services  at  Maxwell  Street. 

The  of^cers  elected  were  Elders  T.  T.  Forman  and 
W.  L.  Bartlett;  and  Deacons,  Dr.  Wm.  Rhodes  and  N.  H. 


186  THE   CHURCH   RECORD. 

Smith.  To  these  were  added,  February,  1893,  Elder 
J.  Morton  Davis,  and  Deacons  J.  W.  Yent  and  J.  R. 
Smith. 

The  church  grew  rapidly  under  the  faithful  ministry 
of  their  beloved  pastor.  Rev.  C.  T.  Thomson,  and  when, 
in  February,  1894,  he  severed  his  official  connection  with 
it  to  become  the  pastor  of  the  Bethel  and  Horeb  churches, 
there  were  a  hundred  and  forty  members  on  the  roll  and 
ninety  pupils  in  the  Sabbath-school.  Before  he  left  this 
field,  in  which  his  labors  had  been  so  signally  blessed, 
he  moderated  a  congregational  meeting  February  11, 
1894,  when  the  church  called  Rev.  I.  S.  McElroy  to  be 
their  pastor.  This  call  was  accepted,  and  the  new  pastor 
began  his  ministry  the  first  Sabbath  of  the  following 
May. 

During  the  short  vacancy  in  the  pastorate,  Rev.  W. 
C.  Young,  D.  D.,  president  of  Center  College,  supplied 
the  pulpit  for  a  few  weeks,  when  the  building  was  beau- 
tified and  made  more  comfortable  at  a  cost  of  several 
hundred  dollars. 

The  rapid  growth  of  the  church  soon  made  a  demand 
for  additional  officers,  and  December  i,  1895,  B.  F.  Van 
Meter,  Sr.,  and  Dr.  Wm.  Rhodes  were  elected  elders,  and 
E.  D.  Veach,  Jas.  Rogers  and  W.  D.  Gay,  deacons. 

During  the  five  years  of  its  history  there  have  been 
added  to  the  original  seventy-seven  members,  two  hun- 
dred and  fifty  new  members,  of  whom  the  larger  part  re- 
main unto  this  present  time. 

In  February,  1894.  Rev.  C.  T.  Thomson  was  assisted 
by  Rev.  J.  H.  Hopper  in  a  successful  evangelistic  meet- 
ing, when  there  were  forty-two  additions,  and  in  Novem- 
ber, 1895,  Dr.  McElroy  had  the  assistance  of  Rev.  J.  H. 
Evans  in  a  similar  meeting,  when  thirty-five  members 
were  received.  These  were  the  largest  accessions  at  any 
one  time,  the  others,  for  the  most  part,  being  received  at 
the  regular  Sabbath  services. 

The  growth  of  this  church  in  membership,  although 
quite  remar'kable,  has  not  exceeded  its  growth  in  those 
other  directions  so  essential  to  a  vigorous  and  efficient 
organization.  It  was  never  more  prosperous  than  at 
present,  never  more  hopeful  of  the  future  and  never  had 
a  wider  open  door  of  usefulness.  The  congregations 
are  good,  the  contributions  are  liberal,  the  Ladies'  Aid 
and  Missionary  Societies  are  enthusiastic  and  the  Sab- 
bath-school of  one  hundred  and  sixty  members  is  thor- 
oughly organized  with  a  corps  of  most  competent  teach- 
ers, who  are  doing  an  excellent  work  in  this  department. 


MAXWEtL-STREET   PRESBYTERIAN   CHURCH.  187 

This  church  is  especially  notable  for  the  activity  and 
sociability  of  its  members,  and  for  the  charity  and  har- 
mony that  has  characterized  its  histors'. 

The  seats  are  free,  the  offerings  are  voluntary,  the 
visitors  receive  a  cordial  welcome.  The  present  mem- 
bership is  two  hundred  and  seventy. 


Biographical  Sketch  of  Pastor* 


The  Rev.  I.  S.  INIcElroy,  D.  D.,  pastor  of  the  Maxwell 
Street  Presbyterian  Church,  is  a  native  Kentuckian,  of 
Scotch-Irish  Presbyterian  parentage.  His  ancestors 
came  to  America  in  company  with  the  Irvines,  the  Mc- 
Dowells and  others  in  "the  good  ship  George  and  Ann" 
about  1723,  and  to  Kentucky  with  a  colony  from  Camp- 
bell county,  Va.,  which  effected  the  first  white  settlement 
in  what  is  now  Marion  county,  Ky.,  October,  1789.  The 
chief  town  of  this  county  received  its  name  from  the  old 
log  meeting  house  which  these  settlers  erected  shortly 
after  their  arrival  and  called  the  Lebanon  Presbyterian 
Church.  Near  this  historic  spot  and  not  fifty  miles  from 
his  present  home  Dr.  McElroy  was  born  July  30.  1853. 
He  was  fortunate  in  having  Prof.  J.  C.  Fales,  now  dean 
of  faculty  of  Center  College,  for  his  instructor  until  his 
sixteenth  year,  when  he  removed  with  his  father's  family 
to  Newtonia,  Mo.,  where  for  three  years  he  taught  school 
and  studied  law  at  night.  When  nineteen  years  of  age 
a  conviction  of  duty  to  preach  the  gospel,  which  he  had 
successfully  resisted  on  former  occasions,  took  such  a 
hold  on  him  that  he  was  constrained  to  yield  to  the  divine 
call.  Without  delay  he  repaired  to  Danville,  Ky.,  Jan- 
uary, 1873,  where  he  completed  his  academic  education 
and  then  spent  three  years  teaching  in  the  Danville  Class- 
ical and  iSIilitary  Academy.  While  teaching  here  he 
studied  Hebrew  and  Theology  under  Dr.  Wm.  F.  Jun- 
kin.  He  completed  his  theological  studies  in  Union 
Seminary,  Va.,  May,  1878,  and  was  ordained  by  the  Pres- 
bytery of  Missouri  the  following  September.  He  had 
been  a  communicating  member  of  the  Presbyterian 
church  since  he  was  eleven  years  of  age. 

From  the  theological  seminar}'  he  went  at  once  to  the 
charge  of  the  Keytesville  and  Brunswick  churches  in  Mis- 
souri, where  his  labors  were  eminently  successful  until

the  climate  proving  prejudicial  to  his  health  he  accepted 
a  call  from  the  church  at  Stanford,  Ky.,  October,  1880. 
The  following  month  he  was  married  to  Annie  Lee,  the 
'second  daughter  of  Judge  George  F.  Lee,  of  Danville. 
While  pastor  at  Stanford  he  also  preached  for  a  part  of 
his  time  at  Perrs'ville  and  later  at  Hustonville. 


REV.  I.  S.  MCELROY,  D.  D. 

In  October,  1884,  he  accepted  a  call  to  the  church  at 
Mt.  Sterling,  and  gave  a  part  of  his  time  for  the  first  year 
to  the  Springfield  church  as  pastor  elect.  He  remained 
at  Mt.  Sterling  until  July,  1890,  when  he  removed  his 
family  to  this  city.  At  his  earnest  solicitation  his  church 
consented  reluctantly  for  him  to  provide  them  a  supply 
for  the  year  1889  while  he  and  Chancellor  Blanton  would 
endeavor  to  raise  an  additional  endowment  of  one  hun- 
dred thousand  dollars  for  Central  L^niversity.  This  they 
accomplished  in  seven  months  and  then  the  Synod  of 
Kentucky  requested  Dr.  McElroy  to  continue  his  labors 
with  a  view  to  securing  an  endowment  fund  for  a  theo-

logical  seminary.  The  following  spring  he  resigned  as 
pastor  at  Mt.  Sterling  and  gave  himself  entirely  to  this 
new  w^ork.  The  Louisville  Theological  Seminary  was 
organized  March  29,  1893,  when  the  Synod  most  reluct- 
antly accepted  his  resignation.  While  secviring  subscrip- 
tions for  this  seminary,  aggregating  considerably  more 
than  a  hundred  thousand  dollars,  he  also  did  the  full  work 
of  a  successful  evangelist. 

Immediately  on  concluding  his  labors  in  behalf  of  the 
seminary  he  accepted  a  call  from  the  Lexington,  Mo., 
church,  but  his  Presbytery  refused  consent  and  placed 
in  his  hands  an  invitation  from  the  Bethel  and  Horeb 
churches,  which  he  served  until  the  following  October, 
wdien  the  Synod  elected  him  to  superintend  the  State 
evangelistic  work.  Desiring  to  return  to  the  pastorate, 
he  declined  this  important  position  and  spent  that  fall 
and  winter  with  the  First  Church,  Tampa,  Fla.,  from 
which  he  had  received  a  pastoral  call.  He  continued  to 
serve  this  church  after  he  had  declined  the  call  until  May, 
1894,  when  he  entered  upon  his  present  charge  as  pastor 
of  the  Maxwell  Street  Presbyterian  Church  of  Lexington, 
Ky. 

Dr.  McElroy  has  been  honored  by  his  brethren  with 
some  of  the  most  responsible  positions  in  his  church.  He 
is  now  a  trustee  of  The  Louisville  Presbyterian  Theologi- 
cal Seminary,  a  member  of  the  Executive  Committee  of 
the  Synod's  evangelistic  labor  and  chairman  of  the  Com- 
mittee of  Home  Mission  Work  in  his  Presb}1;ery.  He 
was  a  delegate  from  the  Southern  General  Assembly  to 
the  Pan  Presbyterian  Council  at  Glasgow,  Scotland, 
which  he  attended  in  connection  with  a  tour  of  three 
months  in  Europe  the  summer  of  1896. 

The  Central  University  conferred  upon  him  the  degree 
of  Doctor  of  Divinity  June,  1894.

SECOND  PRESBYTERIAN  CHURCH. 


Historical  Sketch. 

By  Rev.  W.  S.  Fulton,  D.  D. 

This  church  was  organized  in  1815  with  fifteen  mem- 
bers, and  was  then  named  "The  Market  Street  Presby- 
terian Church."  The  first  church  building,  erected 
mainly  by  men  who  were  not  then  professed  Christians, 
was  begun  in  May,  1814,  and  dedicated  July  30,  1815. 
The  first  pastor  was  Rev.  James  McChord,  a  brilliant 
thinker,  eloquent  speaker,  and  faithful  minister  of  the 
gospel  of  Christ.  He  died  May  29,  1820.  To  honor  his 
memory  his  people  buried  his  body  under  the  pulpit  in 
which  he  had  preached,  set  a  marble  slab  in  the  wall  back 
of  the  pulpit  and  inscribed  on  it  the  words,  "The  resur- 
rection of  the  just  shall  unfold  his  character.''  Then  to 
still  further  show  their  feelings  toward  him  the  people  on 
August  26,  1823,  changed  the  name  of  the  church  to  "The 
McChord  Presbyterian  Church." 

There  may  have  been  elders  in  the  church  before  this, 
but  the  first  elders  of  whom  we  have  record  in  "The  Min- 
utes of  Session,"  were  ordained  September  28,  1818. 
They  were  Ebenezer  Sharpe,  then  a  professor  in  Tran- 
sylvania University,  Joseph  C.  Breckenridge,  afterward 
attorney-general  of  the  United  States,  William  B.  Logan, 
and  William  Henry. 

After  the  death  of  Mr.  A^cChord  the  church  was  sup- 
plied chiefly  by  Dr.  Robert  H.  Bishop,  then  a  professor 
in  Transylvania  University,  and  afterward  president  of 
INIiami  University,  until  the  summer  of  1823.  A  call  was 
then  made  to  Mr.  John  Breckenridge,  a  young  man  who 
had  been  chaplain  of  the  National  House  of  Representa- 
tives during  the  previous  winter,  and  was  then  a  licentiate 
of  the  Presbytery  of  West  Lexington.  Mr.  Breckenridge 
became  later  a  minister  well  known  for  his  ability  in  all 
parts  of  the  country.  When  he  became  pastor  the  church 
had  only  fifty-eight  members,  but  it  had  begun  to  manifest 

(194) 


SECOND   PRESBYTERIAN   CHl-RCH.

that  activity  in  Christian  work  which  has  characterized  it 
ever  since. 

On  March  30,  1823,  according  to  the  arrangements 
made  before  that  by  tiie  session,  the  Sabbath-school  was 
organized,  and  the  members  of  the  church  "Pledged 
themselves  to  their  God  and  to  one  another  to  endeavor 
to  do  something  weekly  and  daily  to  promote  the  relig- 
ious instruction  of  the  vouth."     The  school  met  at  two 


SECOND  PRESBYTERIAN  CHURCH. 


o'clock  p.  m.,  the  teachers  were  to  meet  their  classes  of 
"four  or  six  scholars"  exactly  at  that  hour.  A  half-hour 
was  to  be  spent  "hearing  a  small  portion  of  scripture  re- 
peated and  endeavoring  in  a  familiar  manner  to  enforce 
some  divine  truth  upon  the  understanding  and  the  heart." 
For  seventy-four  years  the  Sabbath-school  thus  organized 


•196  THE   CHURCH   RECORD. 

has  been  the  very  right  arm  of  the  church.  It  has  had 
among  its  officers  and  teachers  the  most  intelHgent  and 
devoted  members  of  the  church,  and  it  has  helped  to  train 
for  service  in  this  and  other  churches  hundreds  of  useful 
Christians.  Its  present  superintendent,  Mr.  John  R. 
Sharpe,  has  for  twenty-two  years  been  in  office,  and  has 
during  all  those  years  been  absent  only  three  or  four 
times.  Its  present  primary  teacher,  Mrs.  Dr.  H.  M. 
Skillman,  has  efficiently  conducted  her  department  for  a 
still  longer  period. 

In  October,  1824,  the  first  deacons  of  the  church  were 
elected  and  ordained.  They  were  Thomas  Prentiss, 
William  S.  Ridgely,  and  James  Wallace,  and  since  that 
time  thirty  others  have  filled  the  deacon's  office,  and 
"having  served  well  as  deacons  have  gained  to  themselves 
a  good  standing." 

The  third  pastor  of  the  church  was  Rev.  John  C. 
Young,  a  native  of  Pennsylvania,  a  pupil  of  the  celebrated 
Dr.  John  M.  Mason,  and  for  many  years  after  he  left  the 
pastorate  of  the  McChord  Church  the  successful  president 
of  Center  College  at  Danville,  Ky.  Dr.  Young's  pastor- 
ate, begun  October  27,  1828,  lasted  but  two  years.  It, 
however,  introduced  him  to  the  Kentucky  Presbyterian 
church,  and  opened  the  way  to  his  great  life  work  as  an 
educator  of  young  men. 

The  fourth  pastor  was  Rev.  Robert  Davidson,  whose 
service  extended  from  November  31,  1831,  to  June  28, 
1840.  Then  he  resigned  to  accept  the  presidencv  of  Tran- 
sylvania University.  Dr.  Davidson  is  known  to  the 
church  throughout  the  country  by  his  excellent  "History 
of  the  Presbyterian  Church  in  the  State  of  Kentucky." 
It  was  during  his  pastorate  that  Lexington  sufifered  so 
terribly  from  the  cholera,  and  we  owe  to  his  pen  one  of 
our  most  graphic  descriptions  of  the  horrors  of  that  vis- 
itation. 

The  fifth  pastor  was  Rev.  John  D.  Matthews,  elected 
April  22,  1841.  He  continued  in  the  office  until  1845. 
During  the  first  year  of  his  pastorate  the  church  received 
fifty-three  persons,  and  reached  a  total  membership  of  one 
hundred  and  sixty-eight. 

The  sixth  pastor  was  Rev.  John  H.  Brown,  a  native 
of  Greensburg,  Ky.,  who  had  studied  both  law  and  medi- 
cine before  he  entered  the  ministry.  He  was  "remark- 
able for  his  clear,  direct  style,  and  he  presented  truth 
with  a  tenderness  and  pathos  which  made  him  eloquent 
even  upon  occasions  when  least  expected."  His  pastor- 
ate extended  from  January,    1847,  to  December,    1853. 


SECOND  PRESBYTERIAN  CHURCH.  197 

From  Session  Book,  of  October  31,  1847,  we  make 
the  following  extract : 

"Sabbath  morning  clear  and  pleasant.  The  McChord 
Church,  having  been  completed,  was  dedicated  this  fore- 
noon. Opening  prayer  and  reading  6th  chapter  of  2d 
Chronicles  by  Rev.  S.  V.  Marshall.  Sermon  preached  by 
Rev.  John  H.  Brown  from  26.  Chronicles,  6th  chapter, 
40th  and  41st  verses.  Closing  prayer  by  C.  W.  Campbell. 
The  audience  was  large  and  attentive." 

Rev.  R.  G.  Branck  was  the  seventh  pastor,  serving 
the  church  for  a  longer  period  than  any  of  its  other 
pastors.  He  was  installed  Februan,^  12,  1854,  and  dis- 
missed September  18,  1867.  The  church  was  also  greatly 
blessed  during  his  ministr\-.  But  his  pastorate  closed 
with  the  division  of  the  church.  Dr.  Branck  taking  with 
him  into  the  Southern  Presbyterian  church  a  part  of  the 
members  of  the  Second  Church. 

After  the  division  of  the  church  Rev.  Edward  H.  Camp 
was  pastor  from  Januar}-  26,  1868,  to  September  14,  1869. 
But  during  this  brief  pastorate  fifty-two  persons  were 
added  to  the  church. 

The  next  pastor  was  Rev.  G.  W.  F.  Birch.  During 
his  pastorate,  which  extended  from  1870  to  1873,  the 
church  was  again  well  organized  and  prepared  to  go 
steadily  forward  in  its  work. 

Rev.  Robert  Christie  succeeded  Dr.  Birch.  He  was 
called  November  19,  1873,  and  remained  with  the  church 
until  July  31,  1879.  During  these  years  the  church  did 
excellent  work  in  all  its  different  spheres  of  activity. 

Rev.  George  P.  Wilson  was  ordained  and  installed 
pastor  of  the  church  October  14,  1880,  and  remained  un- 
til January  24,  1884,  having  accomplished  a  good  work 
during  these  opening  years  of  his  ministry. 

The  present  pastor.  Rev.  W.  S.  Fulton,  was  called 
March  3,  1884,  and  was  installed  May  7th,  of  the  same 
year.  Since  that  time  the  church  has  received  into  her 
membership  over  four  hundred  and  sixty  persons.  Its 
members,  without  fairs,  festivals  or  other  devices  for  rais- 
ing money,  have  directly  given  to  the  work  of  the  church 
in  the  city  between  fifty  and  sixty  thousand  dollars,  and 
to  mission  work  outside  of  the  city  they  have  contributed 
between  forty-five  and  fifty  thousand  dollars. 

Tn  1876  the  Ladies'  ]\Iissionar\-  Society  was  organized, 
and  for  some  years  past  it  has  been  one  of  the  best  so- 
cieties in  the  whole  Presbyterian  church. 

For  five  years  past  a  flourishing  and  useful   mission 


198  THE   CHURCH   RECORD. 

has  been  supported  by  the  church  in  the  west  end  of  the 
city.  This  is  known  as  the  Campbell  Memorial  Mission. 
Erected  and  presented  to  the  Second  Presbyterian 
Church  by  a  faithful  and  useful  member — Mr.  William 
Campbell — in  memory  of  his  beloved  wife,  Mrs.  Serilda 
Campbell.  It  was  dedicated  with  interesting  religious 
ceremonies  on  Sunday,  July  13,  1892.  Mr.  Campbell 
was  called  to  the  heavenly  rest  on  last  Christmas  day, 
a  year  ago,  and  in  grateful  memory  of  Mr.  Campbell 
memorial  services  were  held  in  the  chapel  the  Sunday 
evening  following,  when  the  pastor,  Rev.  William  S. 
Fulton,  D.  D.,  presided,  preached  the  sermon,  and  Elder 
Dr.  Lyman  Beecher  Todd  delivered  an  appropriate  ad- 
dress. The  chapel  was  filled  to  its  utmost  capacity  by  a 
deeply  impressed  and  appreciative  audience.  A  prayer 
meeting  is  regularly  conducted  in  the  chapel  on  every 
Thursday  evening,  by  the  pastor  and  elders  alternately, 
and  also  divine  service  ever\^  Sunday  evening,  which  are 
well  attended  by  citizens  of  the  vicinity,  and  growing  in 
interest. 

A  Sabbath-school,  numbering  over  one  hundred 
pupils,  is  held  here  every  Sunday  afternoon,  of  which  Mr. 
J.  Edward  Bassett  is  the  attentive  and  faithful  superin- 
tendent and  Miss  Ella  Williams  devoted  and  untiring 
assistant  superintendent.  Much  good  has  been  accom- 
plished by  this  school  in  the  neighborhood. 

On  Saturday  morning  an  industrial  school  is  con- 
ducted at  this  mission,  attended  by  more  than  eighty 
scholars  and  by  many  ladies  of  the  church,  who  labor 
earnestly  and  faithfully  in  this  department,  which  has 
already  given  gratifying  evidence  of  great  usefulness. 

One  of  the  elders  of  the  church,  Dr.  John  W.  Scott, 
from  1 87 1  to  1883,  supported  and  superintended  a  Sab- 
bath-school for  the  colored  people  and  in  the  teaching  he 
was  assisted  by  other  members  of  the  church,  and  at  a 
later  date  Elder  James  A.  Curry  superintended  a  similar 
school. 

From  about  1864  to  1874  members  of  the  church  con- 
ducted a  mission  Sabbath-school  on  West  Main  street  in 
the  city  school  building. 

During  all  of  its  history  the  church  has  been  composed 
of  a  liberal,  intelligent  and  conservatively  progressive 
people.

Biographical  Sketch  of  Pastor. 


The  pastor  of  the  Second  Presbyterian  Church,  Rev. 
WilUam  S.  Fuhon,  is  a  native  of  Washington  count>% 
Pennsylvania.  On  his  father's  side  he  is  of  Scotch-Irish 
stock,  and  comes  of  a  long  line  of  Presbyterian  ministers, 
his  great-great-grandfather  being  the  first  Presbyterian 
minister  to  settle  west  of  the  mountains  in  Pennsylvania. 

Dr.  Fulton  was  educated  at  Bell's  Mills  Academy, 
Washington  and  Jefiferson  College,  and  Lafayette  Col- 


REV.   WILLIAM   S.    FULTON,  D.  U. 

lege,  where  he  was  graduated.  His  theological  training 
was 'in  the  Theological  Seminary  at  Allegheny,  when 
the  great  teacher,  Dr.  A.  A.  Hodge,  was  there.  His 
first  pastorate  was  in  the  First  Presbyterian  Church  of 
Oil  City,  Pa.,  a  church  of  several  hundred  members,  re- 
markable for  the  fact  that  it  had  in  it  but  one  gray- 
haired  man,  and  two  grav-haired  ladies.  This  pastorate 
of  five  years  was  signalized  bv  two  large  ingathenngs 
and  bv  the  unusual  number  of  men  who  were  saved  from 
the  drinking  habit  to  become  sober,  Chnstian  men. 

The  second  pastorate  was  over  the  First  Presbyterian

WALNUT- HILL 
PRESBYTEI^IAN  CHURCH. 


Historical    Sketch. 

By  R.  H.  Davenport. 

Walnut  Hill  Presbyterian  Church,  in  Fayette  count}', 
has  one  of  the  most  illustrious  histories  of  any  church 
in  Kentucky.  It  was  organized  in  1785  by  Rev.  Alex- 
ander Crawford,  whose  dust  now  lies  in  t!:e  old  church 
yard.  Rev.  Robert  Stuart  (familiarly  known  as  Father 
Stuart),  was  its  second  pastor. 

The  first  preacher  I  recollect  was  Alexander  Craw- 
ford, who  ministered  there  many  years.  He  was  fol- 
lowed by  Robert  Stewart,  he  by  John  Lyle,  he  by  R.  J. 
Breckinridge  and  J.  J.  Bullock.  Stewart  and  Lyle  died 
during  their- pastorate  of  this  church. 

Some  of  the  most  prominent  members  were  Dr.  Todd. 
Waller  Bullock,  Charles  McPheeters,  Walter  Hawkins. 
Andrew  Armstrong,  Samuel  Bell,  Dabney  CJverton,  the 
Headleys,  Will  Dunlap,  Col.  John  Dunlap,  ]\IcClanihan, 
Mclsaacs,  Robert  Boggs,  Edmund  Bullock,  Mrs.  Col- 
onel Rhodes,  Mrs.  Charles  Carr,  Mrs.  Whitney,  Mrs. 
Gordon  Hunt  (mother  of  Judge  Joe  Hunt). 

Parson  Stewart  taught  school  there  about  1824,  and 
among  my  old  schoolmates  were  Joe  Bullock,  Robert, 
Sam  and  David  Stewart,  Lunsford  Chiles.  Charles  Mc- 
Pheeters. \\'alter  Carr  and  William  Richardson.  Joe 
Bullock  was  afterward  pastor  of  the  church;  David  and 
Sam  Stewart  became  preachers;  Robert  Stewart  moved 
to  Springfield,  111.,  and  was  a  famous  lawyer;  Richard- 
son moved  to  Illinois,  studied  law,  was  elected  to  the 
United  States  Senate  as  a  Democrat,  and  served  in  the 
Senate  with  John  C.  Breckinridge. 

Carr  and  McPheeters  moved  to  St.  Louis.  Chiles 
lived  and  died  at  Chilesburg,  in  Fayette    county.      The

WALNUT-HILL  PRESBYTERIAN   CHURCH.  211 

writer  of  this  is,  I  think,  the  only  member  of  the  old 
school  living. 

There  was  a  singing-  class  taught  there.  Among 
those  who  attended  were  the  Misses  Bullock,  Carr, 
Hawkins,  Armstrong,  Stewart,  Simrall.  Miss  Sarah  Bul- 
lock, who  was  a  sister  of  Rev.  Jos.  Bullock  and  Robert 
Bullock,  married  a  Mr.  Simrall,  and  was  the  mother  of 
Judge  Simrall,  of  Louisville,  and  Mayor  Simrall  of  Lex- 
ington. Mrs.  Simrall  and  the  writer  of  this  are  the  only 
survivors  of  that  large  class.  The  Sunday-school,  con- 
ducted at  that  time  at  the  Walnut  Hill  Church,  was  the 
only  one  held  in  Fayette  county.  John  C.  Breckinridge 
was  an  attendant  at  the  old  church,  lived  wath  Walter  Bul- 
lock and  was  indoctrinated  into  the  principles  of  Democ- 
racy by  him,  who  was  recognized  as  being  the  best  posted 
man  in  the  country  at  that  time.  Gen.  John  B.  Huston 
taught  school  in  that  neighborhood,  and  it  was  said, 
studied  for  the  ministry,  but  never  preached. 

The  pulpit  was  six  feet  high  from  the  floor,  boxed  up, 
and  steps  leading  up  to  it.  When  the  preacher  stood  up 
3'ou  could  only  see  his  head,  while  sitting  he  was  entirely 
hid  from  the  congregation.  The  writer  moved  to  Wood- 
ford county  in  1848,  and  is  not  ver}^  familiar  with  the 
history  of  the  church  since. 

It  was  a  great  county,  the  best  and  greatest  of  God's 
creation  lived  there,  the  pure  gospel  was  preached  in  the 
old  church,  the  good  men  and  women  who  lived  there 
have  died  and  gone  to  their  reward,  their  descendants 
have  scattered,  many  of  them  in  the  pulpit  and  in  the 
legislative  hall  have  left  their  impress  on  the  history  of 
this  country,  the  old  church  still  stands  and,  as  in  the 
past,  the  pure  gospel  of  Christ  is  preached  there.  With 
what  a  mixture  of  pain  and  pleasure  are  these  recollec- 
tions dotted  down.  One  moment  I  can  see  tlie  old 
church,  the  school-room,  the  boys  and  girls,  and  can 
hear  the  merrv  shouts  as  they  engage  in  their  old-time 
games,  then  my  eyes  fill  with  tears  when  I  remember  that 
of  all  that  number  the  writer  alone  is  here,  waiting  for 
the  summer,  trusting  that  when  it  comes  there  will  be  a 
reunion  of  the  old  Walnut  Hill  boys  and  girls  in  our 
Father's  house  above. 

The  old  stone  church  was  remodeled  a  few  years  ago, 
and  is  a  beautiful  structure,  and  though  its  membership 
is  small,  still  has  regular  ministrations  of  the  gospel.
